PLS FASSTTT

Leena pulls a blue tile out of a bag of same-size tiles without looking. There are 4 purple tiles, 6 blue tiles, and 8 green tiles left in the bag. Find the theoretical probability that the next tile she picks is the same color and the probability that it is a different color. Is it likely the next tile she picks will match?

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

To find the probability of finding a blue tile you have to find blue tiles over the total number of tiles

First, we have to find the total amount of blue tiles

4 purple 6 blue 8 green

we have 6 blue tiles

Next, we have to find the the total amount of tiles

4+6+8=18

Now, we put it as a fraction then simplify

6/18=1/3
