Question

Vanessa has a lot of headbands. Twenty are pink, 32 are blue, and 16 are black. If she picks a headband at random, what is the probability that it will not be black?

Answer 1

Answer:

             $\dfrac{13}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

all headbands:   20+32+16 = 68

headbands that aren't black:   68-16 = 52

the probability:   $\frac{52}{68}=\frac{13}{17}$
