Question

A class has 14 girls and 12 boys. What is the probability that a girl's name is

drawn at random? (5 points)

Answer 1

14/26

Explanation:

First you would find out what would be the total number of boys and girls 14+12=26 which would be your denominator.

Then we know there are 14 girls, so that would be our numerator.

So, the final answer would be 14/26

Answer 2

14/26 or simplified 7/13 which is 53.85%

Explanation:

14 girls

26 kids in total (boys and girls added together)

14/26 equals 53.85%
