Answer:

2/5

Explanation:

Probability is the chance that a certain event occurs out of the total events.

Here, the event of "choosing a blue card". The total events are just "choosing any card".

There are 24 blue cards and 24 + 20 + 16 = 60 cards in total. So, we just take 24 and divide it by 60:
(24)/(60) . Simplifying, we get:


(24)/(60) = (2)/(5)

Thus, the answer is 2/5.

Hope this helps!
