Answer 2

Answer:

1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bag contains a total of 8 balls, then the chance of picking 2 yellow balls from a total of 8 balls is given by 2/8, simplified, this is 1/4.

This is how you simplify:

1. Write the fraction.

$\frac{2}{8}$

2. Find a number that can divide both the numerator and the denominator. A number could be 2, therefore, divide both the numerator and the denominator by this number.

$\frac{2/2}{8/2} =\frac{1}{4}$

Final answer: $\frac{1}{4}$
