Question

Josephine has a box of 5 grey balls and 3 white balls. What is the probability that she will pull a grey ball?

Answer 1

Answer: 5 to 8

Explanation:

Since there are 5 grey balls and 3 white balls, you add the number of white and grey balls to get the total balls which is 8, then put the number of grey balls over the 8 which comes to
`(5)/(8)` or 5 to 8 probability of getting a grey ball.

This also does not reduce so 5 to 8 is the final answer.
