Question

.

Nerissa has 5 pink bows, 1 blue bow, and 4 purple bows in a box. She will randomly choose 1 bow from the box.



What is the probability Nerissa will choose a purple bow?

Answer 1

fraction wise(4/10 chance)

percent wise:(40% chance)

Explanation:

(There are 2 options) First add all of the bows then see how many purple bows there are. Since there are 4 bows it would be 4/10 or 40%.

Answer 2

the answer would be 4/10 but the simplified version would be 2/5.

Explanation:

add up how many bows you have, that will be the denominator. Then, the numerator is the number of purple bows. and if your going to simplify it divide the numerator and denominator by 2.
