Question

A class of 22 students is having a drawing. Each student's name is placed on a piece of paper and then placed in a hat. One name is randomly drawn from the hat.

If there are 11 boys in the class, what is the probability that the name drawn is a girl's?

 A. 
5/11

 B. 
6/11

 C. 

1/2

 D. 

10/11

​

Answer 1

Answer:C 1/2

Explanation:

If 11 are boys that means the left over 11 from the 22 are girls.

22-11=11

11/22 simplified is 1/2 as you divide both sides by 11.

Hope this helps!
