Answer 1

Answer: 7/20

Explanation:

Cans of red paint= 3

Cans of blue paint= 7

Cans of yellow paint= 2

Cans of green paint= 8

Total cans of paint= 3+7+2+8 = 20

Probability of Irma choosing one blue paint will be total number of paints divided by the total cans of paints.

= Cans of blue paint / Total cans of paint

= 7/20
