Question

Lee has a fruit basket. The basket contains 15 apples and 20 oranges .Without looking , if lee chooses from the basket, what is the probability of selecting an apple or orange?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lee has a 3/7 chance of choosing an apple and a 4/7 chance of choosing an orange.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the basket contains 15 apples and 20 oranges, it contains 35 fruits in total.

15/35 of the fruits are apples and 20/35 of the fruits are oranges. To find the probability of Lee choosing an apple or an orange, we just need to simplify these fractions.

Apples: 15/35=3/7

Oranges: 20/35=4/7

Therefore, Lee has a 3/7 chance of choosing an apple and a 4/7 chance of choosing an orange.

I hope this helps! Happy holidays :)
