Answer:


(1)/(3)

Explanation:

First, let's find how many total items there are in the box.

If there are 20 oranges and 10 grapes, then there are
20+10=30 items in the box.

Now, if there are 10 grapes in this box, we know that the probability of picking a grape is
(10)/(30) because the total is the denominator and the number of items for that selection is the numerator.

We can simplify this fraction down to
(1)/(3).

Hope this helped!
