Question

5 A bag of tiles contains 6 green, 4 yellow, and 5 blue tiles. If one tile is pulled at random what is the probability of NOT choosing a green tile.

Make sure to give your probability as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

3/5

Explanation:

6+4+5 = 15

5+4 = 9

9/15 = 3/5

Answer 2

3/5

Explanation:

Since it given that a bag of tiles contains:

6 green

4 yellow

5 blue

To Find:

If one tile is pulled at random what is the probability of NOT choosing a green tile.

Solve:

knowing that there are a total of 15 tiles {6+5+4=15}

And there is 6 green tiles

Thus, 15 - 6 = 9

Hence, the probability of Not Choosing a green tiles before simplest form is 9/15

GCD - 3

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD

9 ÷ 3/15 ÷ 3

Reduced fraction = 3/5

Therefore, the probability of Not choosing a green tiles is 3/5
