Question

What is the probability of choosing a vowel out of the word CANYON? Give your answer rounded to the nearest whole percent. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK and TY in advance!

Answer 1

Among the word CRAYON, two of the letters are vowels, so the possibility would be 2/6 or 33%.

Answer 2

The word CANYON has 6 letters
2 of which are vowels (A and O)

To find the probability, you divide the number of the choice you want by the total number of possible choices
What this means it that you're looking for are vowels. There are 2.
But total you actually have 6 letters you could possibly choose.
So you divide 2 by 6
$\frac{2}{6}$
$\frac{2}{3} = 33.33%$
Round the answer to 33%
