You randomly pull a scrap from a bag of scraps. The bag has 2 pink scarps, 3 blue scraps, and 5 yellow scraps. Answer the following questions provide written as fractions.

1. What is the probability of not drawing a white scrap?

2. What is the probability of not drawing a pink scrap?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. The probability of not drawing a white scrap is **3/10**. There are 10 scraps in total, and 5 of them are not white (2 pink scraps and 3 blue scraps). Therefore, the probability of not drawing a white scrap is 5/10 or 1/2.

2. The probability of not drawing a pink scrap is **7/10**. There are 10 scraps in total, and 8 of them are not pink (3 blue scraps and 5 yellow scraps). Therefore, the probability of not drawing a pink scrap is 8/10 or 4/5.

I hope this helps answer your questions!
