Question

Bernice placed 5 green paper clips, 6 blue paper clips, and 9 yellow paper clips in a container. She will reach into the container and pull out one paper clip without looking. What is the probability that the paper clip she chooses will be green?

Answer 1

There are 5 green paperclips. To find the probability, you have to take that number out of the total number of paperclips. That will get you your answer.
