Question

an organization will give a prize to a local artist. the artist will be randomly chosen from among 3 painters, 7 sculptors, and 12 photographers. what is the probability the artist chosen will be a painter or a sculptor. Write your answer as a fraction in simplistic form. could you help me please?

Answer 1

Answer: 5/11
The total number of artists (22) = denominator
The total number of painters and sculptors (10) = numerator
It should be 10/22
Since it is not in its simplest form yet, divide both numbers by 2
Thus, 5/11 is the final answer.
