Question

Oscar's father has a large collection of ties. He has 18 ties, and 2 of them are paisley.
If Oscar's father chose a tie at random, what is the probability that the tie would be paisley?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 of the 18 are paisley

So 2/18 can be reduced to 1/9

1/9 as a percentage is 11.1%

So 1/9 chance to pick a paisley, or a 11.1 percent chance!
