Answer:

Ratio = 4 : 15 or


(4)/(15)

Explanation:

Here letters from I to W are written on a separate index card.

I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W

Counting the letters, they are 15 in number.

To find the probability that a letter in the word MILK will be selected on first try, we'll get the following:

Possible event / total number

Since the word MILK contains 4 letters, the probability =


(4)/(15)

Therefore, ratio that represents the probability that a letter in the word MILK will be selected on the first try is 4 : 15
