Question

Working this problem with my son and want to see where we are missing

Answer 1

0.0625

Explanation:

Answer 2

0.0625

Explanation:

There are 16 possible answers as 4 (cones) X 4 (toppings) = 16 combinations

A chocolate cone with granola is 1 of those combinations, so the fraction of that would be 1/16. 1/16 as a decimal is 0.0625 , therefore there is a 0.0625 chance of picking a chocolate cone with a granola topping.
