You put the names of all the students in your class in a paper bag. There are 14 boys and 10 girls. If you draw a name at random, what is P(girl’s name)?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how many girls are there? how many people in total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 girls, 24 total

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct, so the probability of selecting a girl is 10 out of 24, or 10/24 simplify as needed.

OpenStudy (amistre64):
