Question

you select a card at random from 50 cards numbered 1-50 what are the possible out comes for the event of choosing a number that is a multiple of 6?

Answer 1

The probability is 16%.

Explanation:

Start by finding the multiples of 6 that are under 50.

6;12;18;24;30;36;42;48

There are 8. Now, we must divide 8 by 50. This is the chance that it will be a multiple of 6.

8/50

This simplifies even further, to 4/25.

We can write this as .16, or 16%.
