Question

Jake's teacher had 6 calculators for 28 students to use. If the first students to use the calculators are chosen at random, what is the probability that jake will get one?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{3}{14}$ or 21.45%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that Jake will get a calculator, we simply divide the number of calculators to the number of students in the class.

Probability = $\dfrac{6}{28}$

Probability = $\dfrac{3}{14}$

To find the probability in percentage form, we simply multiply the quotient of $\dfrac{3}{14}$ by 100

$\dfrac{3}{14} =0.2142$

0.2142 x 100 = 21.42%

So Jack has a 21.45% chance of getting a calculator from the teacher.
