If she pulls a pair of socks out of her drawer in the morning without looking what is the probability she will choose a pair of white socks

Answer 1

Answer:
2/5
Explanation:
So the total pairs of socks she has is 10 pairs. So we are trying to find the white socks probability so you would do 4/10. This simplified is 2/5. So that’s how you do it.

Answer 2

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok there are 4+3+1+2 pairs of socks in all... Aka 10 sock pairs in all.

There are 4 white pairs.  So the probability she selects a white pair is 4/10.

4/10 can be reduced to 2/5.
