Question

Kyle’s handful of trail mix has 2 almonds, 4 peanuts, 3 raisins, and 5 sunflower seeds. If he picks one item from the handful of trail mix at random, what is the probability that the item is a peanut? StartFraction 1 over 14 EndFraction StartFraction 1 over 7 EndFraction StartFraction 2 over 7 EndFraction Two-fifths.

Answer 1

Answer: 2/7, or C.

Explanation:

First, to find how many items Kyle has in total, you add 2 + 4 + 3 + 5 = 14

Then, to find the probability of Kyle selecting a peanut, you divide the amount of peanuts (4) by the total number of items (14) to get:

4 ÷ 14 = 4/14, which simplifies to 2/7

Therefore, the probability that Kyle will choose a peanut is 2/7.

I hope this helps!
