Answer:

2/20 or 0.1

Explanation:

So we are given this data:

Tomato = 2

Chicken = 3

Cheese = 2

Potato = 2

Beef = 1

Total Chances (Sum Of All)

Total = 10

Beef is 1

To get beef soup one time it would be 1/10

what about 2 times

we can just multiply by 2*

so 1 / 10 * 2 = 2 / 20 or 0.1

The Answer would be 2/20 or 0.1
