Question

A bag contains three types of candy (gumdrops, jelly beans, and jawbreakers). If
chosen at random, the probability of getting a gumdrop is, and the probability
of getting a jellybean is 3. What is the probability of getting a jawbreaker?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I added the two numbers tat we had already.

1/6+1/3=1/6+2/6=3/6=1/2

Then, I subtracted the sum (1/2) from the total (1).

1-1/2=1/2

So, the probability of getting a jawbreaker is 1/2.
