Question

On Eduardo's workbench are the following

Answer 1

Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cans of red paint = 3

Number of cans of blue paint = 5

Number of cans of green paint = 8

Number of cans of yellow paint = 4

Total number of cans of paint = 20

The probability that Eduardo will

choose a can of red paint or a can of blue will be:

= P(red) + P(blue)

= 3/20 + 5/20

= 8/20

= 2/5

The probability is 2/5.
