Question

Answer as a fraction in lowest terms:
There are 11 oranges, 6 apples, 9
bananas, and 13 peaches on a table.
What is the probability of picking an
orange at random?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{11}{39}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 39 fruits in all.

$11 + 6 + 9 + 13= 39$

Therefore, there would be 39 total events.

There are 11 preferred events, as there are eleven oranges out of the 39 fruits.

$\frac{preferred}{total} =\frac{11}{39}$

So, there should be a 11/39 chance that a person would pick an orange.

$\frac{11}{39}$ is already in it's lowest terms.
