Question

At a school picnic, students can choose their dessert. The desserts include 8 ice cream sandwiches, 9 chocolate frozen bananas, 12 ice cream cones, 11 frozen pops, 16 push-up sticks, and 14 shaved ice cones. If desserts are chosen at random, what is the probability that the first person in line will choose an ICE CREAM CONE? Please select one answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{12}{70}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly add up the total number of Deserts.

8 + 9 + 12 + 11 + 16 + 14 = 70

There are a total of 12 ice cream cones

This can be represented as a fraction for your answer $\frac{12}{70}$

Answer 2

If you add it all then you would get 70 and there are 12 ice cream cones so there’s a 12/70 probability which can be 6/35
