What you do to solve this problem you put the faction side-by-side then see what number 16 and six could both go into just multiply 6 times 116 times one and keep on going down to you have the same answer doesn't answer you get is going to be a denominator and then after you get your denominator you do 5 times five and the number you get for you denominator
Hello!
You first find out how many objects there are in total
4 + 9 + 3 = 16
Then you find the probability of Liliana picking a orange
Since there are 4 oranges and 16 things to pick she has a 4/16 chance of getting an orange
Next you find the probability of Liliana picking a pear
There are 3 pears and 16 items to pick so she has a 3/16 chance
Then you add them together to find the chance of either happening
4/16 + 3/16 = 7/16
So she has a 7 out of 16 chance of getting an orange or a pear
The answer is 7/16
Hope this helps!
It can either be equivalent to 11 or 18.
