Answer: Hello there!
in the bag we have:
5 blue balls, 4 red balls, and 3 orange balls.
This adds up to 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 balls in total.
If we took a ball at random, the probability tath this ball is blue is equal to the quotient between the number of blue balls and the total number of balls.
this is P = 5/12 = 0.4166
now we need to round it to the tenths place, this is the first number after the decimal point, in this case, a 4.
To round it we need to see the number that is after if it is 5 or bigger we round up, if is smaller than 5 we round down. In this case, is a 1, means that we need to round down
p = 0.4
If a ball is picked from the bag at random, the probability that the ball taken was a blue ball, is equal to p = 0.4
