Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the total number of socks and compare it to the number of yellow socks. 15 and 5. Now divide the total by the specified group (yellow socks), by doing so, you get 3.

Every 1 in 3 socks is yellow, meaning the chance of picking a yellow sock at random is 1/3.

Hey there!

$20 \dfrac{1}{2} - 5 \dfrac{5}{12} - 3 \dfrac{1}{3} + 2 \times 10 \dfrac{1}{2} \\ = \dfrac{41}{2} - \dfrac{65}{12} - \dfrac{10}{3} + 21 \\ = \dfrac{246}{12} - \dfrac{65}{12} - \dfrac{40}{12} + 21 \\ = \dfrac{141}{12} + 21 \\ = 32 \dfrac{3}{4}$
