Question

You're at a clothing store that dyes your clothes while you wait. You get to pick from 444 pieces of clothing (shirt, pants, socks, or hat) and 333 colors (purple, blue, or orange). If you randomly pick the piece of clothing and the color, what is the probability that you'll end up with an orange hat?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 clothing choices and 3 colors.

4x3=12

This means you have a 1 in 12 chance of getting an orange hat.

This presupposes that there are EQUAL numbers of pieces and colors.  (111 of each).
