Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 5 + 5 = 10 socks

Knee high socks = 5

=> 5/10 = the probability of getting knee high socks

=> 1/2

=> 50%

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 pairs of knee high socks and 5 pairs of crew socks= 10 pairs of socks

P ( knee high) = number of knee high/ total

                       = 5/10 = 1/2
