Imagine you write each letter

of the word CALIFORNIA on
individual cards. You shuffle
them, turn them facedown on a
table, and turn over the top card.
What is the probability of turning
over a vowel?

Answer:

50 %

Explanation:

Divide the amount of vowels (5) by the amount of letters overall (10) to get 0.5

To change this to a decimal, just multiply by 100
