Question

A bag has 13 red candies 7 pink candy 12 orange candies what is the possibility that you will choose an orange candy at random

Answer 1

12/32, 3/8, or 37.5%

Explanation:

Add the candies in the bag together

13+7+12=32

12 out of the thirty-two are orange

12/32

After dividing by 4 to simplify, you get

3/8

3÷8 will give us the decimal which we can then turn into a percentage

37.5%

12/32, 3/8, or 37.5%

Hope this helps :-)
