A family is trying to pick from different shades of paint for their living room. They have narrowed it down to 3 different blues and 6 different greens. The family decides to just randomly select a color from these. What is the probability they will pick a shade of blue? Enter your answer to the nearest percent in the box

33% is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

To find the denominator:
3+6=9
There are 3 shades of blues so our fraction is 3/9

To get the percent you multiply 3/9×100/1=300/9
300÷9=33.33%
33.33 rounded to the nearest percent is 33%.

Your answer is 33%.
