Question

8. Jenny is getting dressed for school,

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\bf\: Probability = \frac{4}{9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information,

• Pairs of black pants = 2
• Pair of brown pants = 1
• Pairs of blue pants = 2

Then, total pairs of pants = 2 + 1 + 2 = 5

Similarly,

• Pink T-shirts = 2
• Blue T-shirts = 2

Then, total number of T-shirts = 4

This gives us the total nunber of clothing articles with Jenny, i.e.,

Total pairs of pants + Total number of T-shirts

= 5 + 4

= 9

Now, the probability of pulling out a pair of black pants & a blue T-shirt will be:

Total pairs of black pants + Total nunber of blue T-shirts/Total clothing articles

= 2 + 2 / 9

= 4/9

$\rule{150}{2}$
