Question

Gina is the costume manager for a large theater company. She has 12 different hats, including 2 helmets.

What is the probability that a randomly chosen hat from Gina's inventory will be a helmet?

Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

2 out of the 12 total are helmets so the probability would be 2/12 which simplifies to 1/6.
