Answer 2

Answer:

15/31 or 48.39% or 0.4838

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event is given by the ratio between the favourable cases and the possible cases.

Since there are 31 loves for the shopper to pick, the number of possible cases is 31

Since we are testing the probability of the shopper picking wheat bread, the favourable cases are the amount of wheat bread that can be picked. 15 in this case

The ratio between the two is 15/31=48.39%
