Question

A box is filled with candies in different colors. There are 40 white candies, 24 green ones, 24 yellow ones, 12 red ones, and 20 blue ones. If a candy is randomly selected, what is the probability of choosing a green or red candy?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/10 or 30% chance red and green being pulled

Step-by-step explanation:

to get your fraction you do your amount wanted pulled (red and green) over the amount total (all of the colors)

24 + 12 = 36

40 + 24 + 12 + 24 + 20 = 120

36/120 now reduce 6

6/20 reduce by 2

3/10
