Answer:

a) WCK, WTM, WTK, BCM, BCK, BTM, BTK.

b) 1/4

Explanation:

a)

For this answer we just need to write all possibilities of sandwiches, so we can use the options given to create all the sandwiches, besides the one given:

(WCM given), WCK, WTM, WTK, BCM, BCK, BTM, BTK.

b)

From the letter a), we have 8 possible options. From these options, we have 2 that have turkey and ketchup (WTK and BTK), so the probability is the number of options we want over the total number of options:

P = 2/8 = 1/4
