Question

Wanda runs a stable. 18 horses currently board at the stable, and 5 of them are bay. What is the probability that a randomly chosen horse will be bay? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

18/5

Explanation:

because a/b equals 18/5

Answer 2

The probability of choosing a bay horse can be calculated by dividing the number of bay horses by the total number of horses:

Probability of choosing a bay horse = number of bay horses / total number of horses

In this case, we know that there are 5 bay horses and a total of 18 horses:

Probability of choosing a bay horse = 5 / 18

Therefore, the probability of choosing a bay horse is 5/18.
