Question

Tania has 6 tiles with pictures of plants and 3 tiles with pictures of animals. Tania keeps all the tiles on a mat with the pictures hidden and mixes them up. She then turns one tile face up and finds the picture of a plant on it. She removes this tile from the mat and turns over another tile without looking. What is the probability that the second tile that Tania turns over has a plant on it?

Answer 1

62.5% because you add them together and get 6/9 since one is chosen you take 1 away and get 5/8. 5/8 as a percent is 62.5%

Answer 2

First, add them up. For her first draw, the probability of her getting a tile with an plant on it was 6/9. So when she takes one away, it will be 5/8.
