Question

A bowl contains candies of the same size in three flavors: orange, strawberry, and pineapple. If the probability of randomly pulling out an orange candy is fraction 2 over 8, and the probability of randomly pulling out a strawberry candy is fraction 3 over 8, what is the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy?

Answer 1

2/8+3/8 =5/8?

Answer 2

2/8-3/8 = 1/8?

Answer 3

64% is what i got and ill show you how...

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

We need to end up with \(\Large\rm \frac{8}{8}\) with our three individual odds.

Answer 6

So far we have \(\Large\rm \frac{2}{8}\) and \(\Large\rm \frac{3}{8}\)

Answer 7

o then the pineapple would be 3/8

Answer 8
