Question

There are four accent walls that need to be painted: cafeteria, gym, auditorium, and entrance. The art class is going to paint either a forest or an ocean nature scene on one of them. What is the probability that the ocean scene is painted in the gym?

Answer 1

the probability of an ocean scene going on the gym wall is 16%

Answer 2

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 walls to choose from, and 2 scenes to choose from. So the number of combinations is 2×4=8. One of those is the ocean scene on the gym wall. So the probability is:

P = 1/8

P = 12.5%
