Question

Abbie has a box with 13 yellow beads, 11 red beads and 26 blue beads.

Abbie takes a bead from the box at random.

Find the probability that Abbie takes a blue bead.

Answer 1

Answer:

26/50 or 14/25

Step-by-step explanation:

13 yellow plus 11 red beads = 24 non-blue beads

Added together for the total amount of beads would be 50 beads in total which means there would be a 26/50 chance of Abbie taking a blue bead or 14/25.

Answer 2

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

13 (yellow bead) + 11 (red beads) + 26 (blue beads) = 50 (total beads)

There are 26 blue beads, so there is a 26 out of 50 chance of getting a blue bead.

$\frac{26}{50} = 0.52 = 52%$%

There is a 52% chance of Abbie picking a blue bead.
