Lyle has a bowl of fruit on his dining room table. It contains 2 oranges, 6 apples, and 2 peaches. Suppose he selects a piece of fruit at random from the bowl. What is the probability that he selects either an orange or a peach?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok waht you need to do is add all the fruit together for a total number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then what you need to do is keep that number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mk.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now it would be 6+4=10 so your ratio now is X:10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x now is what oranges and peaches add up to be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which would be 4, so your ratio is 4:10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then into a percent that equals 40%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is still correct

THANKS YOU :3
