Question

A bag contains ten tiles labeled B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K. One tile will be randomly picked.

What is the probability of picking a vowel?
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

1/5

Explanation:

B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K. = 10 tiles

E and I are vowels

P ( vowel) = vowels/ total

=2/10

= 1/5

Answer 2

In total, we are given 10 letters.

The vowers are; A, E, I, O, and U

In the bag, we can see we have 2 vowels (E and I)

This means that 2 out of the 10 letters are vowels (2/10).

We can simplify the fraction by dividing by 2.

2÷2/10÷2

1/5

Therefore, the answer is 1/5.

Best of Luck!
