Question

There are 39 counters in a bag.
14 of the counters are red.
The rest of the counters are blue,
One of the counters is taken at random.
What is probability that the counter is blue.

Answer 1

Answer:

There fore the probability that the counters are blue is $\frac{15}{39}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 14 red counters and 39 in total. The total of red counter can be represented as a fraction of $\frac{14}{39}$. To find out the number of blue counter we subtract 14 from 39. This gives us 25. This is $\frac{15}{39}$. Therefore the probability that the counters are blue is

Answer 2

Answer:

25/39

Step-by-step explanation:

The total is 39

Red=14

So to determine blue,it will be

39-14=25

So blue will be 25

So to determine the probability for picking blue

It will be

25/39

Since there's no common number that can divide the two

The final answer is 25/39
