Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of picking out a certain colour = 12/48 = 1/4

So, this means that every 4 socks you pick out you can be sure of having one of each colour. If you need to find a pair, then you pick out 8.

Hope this helps

Answer:

3/6 or 1/2 (50%)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 6 containers of each flavor, correct?

If you pick 3 of the same flavor, 3/6, it would look like that fraction.

If you simplify it, It'd be 1/2.

If you want it as a percent, It'd be 50%.

As a decimal, It's .50.
