Question

A number from 5 to 10 is drawn at random. What is the probability that the number is odd?

Answer 1

1/2 or 0.5

Explanation:

First think: How many numbers are there between 5 and ten that are odd?

5,7 and 9 are all odd (that makes 3 numbers)

Then you take that and divide it by the total number of numbers between 5 and 10

5,6,7,8,9,10 (that makes 6 numbers)

You then get 3/6, simplified to 1/2 or 0.5
