Question

In Martha's food storage, she has 13 cans of chicken noodle soup, 15 cans of tomato soup, and 17 cans of mushroom soup. If she randomly chooses a can of soup from her food storage, what is the probability it is a can of tomato soup?

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

p(event) = (number of desired outcomes)/(total number of outcomes)

total number of outcomes = 13 + 15 + 17 = 45

number of desired outcomes = 15

p(can of tomato soup) = 15/45 = 1/3
