Question

9. The numbers 1-12 are written on a card

and placed in a bag. What is the probability
that a number divisible by 3 is drawn?

Answer 1

1/3, if in percentage, then 33% chance

Explanation:

There are 4 whole numbers out of this set that are divisible by 3: 3,6,9,12. Those are only 4 numbers out of 12 making your probability 4/12, or simplified, 1/3. If you convert it into the percent, then the closet match is 33%

Answer 2

1/3

Explanation:

There are 12 cards

The cards with numbers divisible by 3

3,6,9,12 so 4 cards are divisible by 3

P(cards divisible by 3) = number of cards divisible by 3/total

= 4/12

=1/3
