Question

A shop sells red roses and white roses in the ratio 8:3

What is the probability that a rose, sold at random, is red?​

Answer 1

8/11

Explanation:

8+3=11

8 red roses/total roses (11)

Answer 2

8/11 or 73%

Explanation:

You have 8 red rose for every 3 white roses. This means there are 8 red roses in 3+8, 11 roses. So, the chance of a red rose being sold at random is 8/11, Red/Whole.

Hope this helps! :)
