Question

There are 39 counters in a bag.

14 of the counters are red.
The rest of the counters are blue,
One of the counters is taken at random.
What is probability that the counter is blue.

Answer 1

There fore the probability that the counters are blue is
`(15)/(39)`

Explanation:

There are a total of 14 red counters and 39 in total. The total of red counter can be represented as a fraction of
`(14)/(39)`. To find out the number of blue counter we subtract 14 from 39. This gives us 25. This is
`(15)/(39)`. Therefore the probability that the counters are blue is

Answer 2

25/39

Explanation:

The total is 39

Red=14

So to determine blue,it will be

39-14=25

So blue will be 25

So to determine the probability for picking blue

It will be

25/39

Since there's no common number that can divide the two

The final answer is 25/39
