Question

A bee lands on a random point on a ruler edge. find the probability that the point is between 3 and 5.

A. 1/6
B.2/11
C.1/4
D.5/12

Answer 1

It  would be 1/4 because there are 12 inches on a ruler. And if it lands between 3 and 5 there are 3 chances out of 12 that it will land between 3 and 5.  3/12 simplifies to 1/4

Answer 2

Answer: the correct answer was 1/6. I just got it right.
