Question

Mrs. Charming randomly selects names to see who will answer the question. There are 8 boys and 16 girls in her class. What is the probability that she will select a boy’s name?

Answer 1

24% chance for her likely picking a boy

Answer 2

Add boys and girls together for total students:

8 + 16 = 24

The probability of picking a boy would be number of boys / total students.

Answer: 8/24 which can be simplified to be 1/3

Answer = 1/3
