HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

Answer 1

7 out of 16 . so therefore you add the number of oranges and pairs then on the number 16 you just add all pieces of friut

Answer 2

Answer: The probability that she selects an orange or a pear is 7/16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number of oranges = 4,

Apples = 9,

Pears = 3,

Total number of fruits = 4 + 9 + 3 = 16,

If she selects a piece of fruit from the box at random,

Then, the probability that she selects an orange or a pear

= The probability of oranges + The probability of oranges

$=\frac{^4C_1}{^{16}C_1}+\frac{^3C_1}{^{16}C_1}$

$=\frac{4}{16}+\frac{3}{16}$

$=\frac{7}{16}$
