What are the choices please?

pinkcandyrosez882 · Answer

I'm guessing 1/3 because there are three possible ones, all equal chances I think

first add all of them up which is 12. then there are 4 bags of POTATO CHIPS so you divide 12 with 4

4/12 = 1/3 because you have to divide them by the grates common factor.
