Answer:

3/30 = 1/10 = 10%

Explanation:

The correct answer is 0.1.

Explanation:

Total number of striped or solid paper clips in a box is 30.

Number of green paper clips in the box is 3.

Other colors of paper clips are 8 of red; 5 are blue; 7 are blue and red; 3 are black and 4 are white.

We need to find the probability of picking a green clip from the box.

Probability of choosing a green paper clip is given by the fraction of favorable cases to total cases = = 0.1.

i think this is the answer hope it might be helpful!
