PLS HELP ME!

Mr. Henry has a basket full of fruit. He does not
know how many pieces of fruit are in the basket
or the types of fruit. Each of the 20 students in
his class selects one piece of fruit from the basket

without looking, notes its fruit type, and then puts
it back in the basket. Based on the results shown
in the table, what can the students conclude
about the probability of selecting an apple?​

Answer:


(5)/(20) OR
(1)/(4)

Explanation:

Simply put, the total amount of fruits in the basket is 20. Since there are only 5 apples, this makes you only have a 5/20 chance of picking an apple. If you simplify that ratio, you get 1/4.

Good Luck!!!!
