Question

A bowl of candy is sitting on the counter. If there are twelve blue pieces, fourteen red pieces, and six yellow pieces in the bowl, what is the probability of randomly selecting a blue piece? 37.5% 44% 19.3% 33%

Answer 1

To start with, wee need to find the total number of candies in the bowl. 14+12+6=32. We then form a fraction based on the number of blue pieces and this number. 12/32. This is the probability of selecting a blue piece and converts into 37.5%
