Answer 1

4/11

Explanation:

There are a total of 11 letters in the word Mississippi, so the denominator of the fraction will be 11. There are 4 of the letter S in Mississippi, so that will be the numerator.

The fraction is 4/11, and since 4 and 11 cannot be evenly divided it cannot be simplified.

The chances of choosing the letter S is 4/11
