Question

A box is filled with 9 blue cards, 2 brown cards, and 5 yellow cards. A card is chosen at random from the box. What is the probability that the card is not brown?
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 16 cards in total and 2 are brown - this means that 14 are not brown (9 blue cards + 5 yellow cards). Therefore the probability that the card is not brown is 14/16 which is 7/8 in its simplest form.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

14/16 = 7/8
The answer is 7/8 if you reduce
