Question

Marcus randomly draws tokens from a bag containing 10 blue tokens, 8 green tokens, and 12 red tokens. The first draw is a green token. What is the probability of this event?
A. 4/11

B. 4/15

C. 1/2

D. 1/3

Answer 1

The answer is B.

you add up all of the coins (all colors) and get thirty. which mean you have
?/30
if he draws 8 that is your numerator so you now have
8/30
after you get this you simplify so in this case you can simplify by 2. (simplifying is divine the top and bottom by the same number equally)
after you simply you get 4/15 (8÷2=4. 30÷2=15)

Answer 2

B because it is 8/30 then you simplify it to 4/15
