I wonder what color are the two "simple" pencils.

anonymous · Answer

regular pencil when you writing in school not color ones

anonymous · Answer

most stuff you write with regular pencil

hero · Answer

Okay, so basically, we have to simplify this ratio to get the probability:

$$\frac{\text{no of colored pencils}}{\text{total number of pencils}}$$

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 6 }{ 8} = 7,5$$

?

hero · Answer

You have the 6/8 part correct. I don't know what the 7,5 is for.

anonymous · Answer

i don't know what you answer?

All you have to do is simplify 6/8 and you'll have the appropriate answer.

anonymous · Answer

can you type the answer i want see how it looks in mathematics in you version

anonymous · Answer

i got 6/8 what you got

hero · Answer
