Elizabeth placed 26 plastic beads in a brown paper bag. She has 3 red, 4 yellow, 6 pink, 2 green, 1 purple, 8 orange, and 2 blue beads. If she randomly selects one bead from the bag, what is the theoretical probability that Elizabeth will select a green bead? Write your answer in the form of a fraction in the simplest form.

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

her chance of selecting a green bead is 2 out of 26 so you would have a 7.69 % chance of picking up a green bead. so it would be 2/26 and in simplest form that would be 1/13

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? In percent

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

okay so Phil's chance of picking up a white car is 4 out of 12. as a fraction that would be 4/12 and simplified it would be 1/3. so he would have a 33% percent chance of picking up a white car
