Question

Restaurants often slip takeout menus under Tim's apartment door. So far, Tim has collected 5 menus for Italian food and 10 other menus. What is the experimental probability that the next menu slipped under Tim's door will be from an Italian restaurant?

Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.
P(Italian)=

Answer 1

Answer: 1/3

Work Shown:

A = number of Italian menus = 5

B = number of total menus = 5+10 = 15

P(Italian) = A/B = 5/15 = 1/3
