Question

A month of the year is chosen at random. What is the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M?

Answer 1

About 41.7%

Explanation:

This is because there are 5/12 months that start with J or M (Jan, Mar, May, June, July).

5 divided by 12 equals 0.4166666666666667‬.

To find the percent, you move the decimal two places to the right or multiply by 100.

This equals 41.66666666666667‬%, which rounds off to 41.7% (nearest tenth).
