Question

Phil bought 12 toy cars. Of these cars, 2 are red, 4 are white, 3 are yellow, and 3 are green. If Phil puts them all in a bag, what is the probability he will blindly pull out a white toy car?

Answer 1

so there are 4 white cars.... out of 12.... so the chances of you pulling a white one out are 4/12

because there are 4 white cars out of the 12 total cars... does that make sense?

and now simplify! what do you get?
