Question

The circle graph shows the percentage of numbered tiles in a box. If each numbered tile is equally likely to be pulled from the box, what is the probability of pulling out a tile with a 6 on it? (Hint: Remember that percents are based out of 100% and probability is represented as a fraction of 100%)

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

From, the circle graph in the attachment below,

The percentage of portion taken by 6 (dark blue) = 20%

So, the probability of pulling out a tile with a 6 on it = percentage of portion taken by 6 (dark blue) = 20% [Probability can also be written as a percentage]

`=(20)/(100)\\\\=(1)/(5)` [we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into fraction]

Hence, the probability of pulling out a tile with a 6 on it =
`(1)/(5)`
