It is 6 because 1000 would not be the appropiate answer
Hello!
You first find out how many objects there are in total
4 + 9 + 3 = 16
Then you find the probability of Liliana picking a orange
Since there are 4 oranges and 16 things to pick she has a 4/16 chance of getting an orange
Next you find the probability of Liliana picking a pear
There are 3 pears and 16 items to pick so she has a 3/16 chance
Then you add them together to find the chance of either happening
4/16 + 3/16 = 7/16
So she has a 7 out of 16 chance of getting an orange or a pear
The answer is 7/16
Hope this helps!
the answer to your question is 6/7 × 1 1/4 = 3/14
