Question

Answer as a fraction in lowest terms:

There are 11 oranges, 6 apples, 9
bananas, and 13 peaches on a table.
What is the probability of picking an
orange at random?​

Answer 1

`(11)/(39)`

Explanation:

There are 39 fruits in all.

`11 + 6 + 9 + 13= 39`

Therefore, there would be 39 total events.

There are 11 preferred events, as there are eleven oranges out of the 39 fruits.

`(preferred)/(total) =(11)/(39)`

So, there should be a 11/39 chance that a person would pick an orange.

`(11)/(39)` is already in it's lowest terms.
