Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the probability of picking up a blonde wig = 1/2

The probabiliy of picking up a brunette wig = 1/12

The question asks to find th eprobability of picking up either of these types of wigs =

1/2 + 1/12

= 6/12 + 1/12 ( LCM of 12 and 1 is 12 )

= 7/12

Hope this helps
