Question

Nahla needs some paint for her bedroom. She finds one can of white paint, three cans of green paint and three cans of blue paint in her garage. If she chooses a can of paint without looking at the color, what is the chance that she will paint her bedroom white? A 6/7 B 5/7 C 3/7 D 1/7

Answer 1

D. 1/7

Explanation:

There are seven cans of paint and only one of them are white, so there's a 1/7 of a chance she'll paint her bedroom white.

Answer 2

D. 1/7

Explanation:

Finding probability is easy, we just add up all the options and then find out how many of them are white and write that as a fraction.

Since there are 7 options and one is white, the probability is:

1/7

I'm always happy to help :)
