Question

Monica and Brianne each draw one prize ticket at random from different boxes. Monica has a 20% chance of winning a prize. Brianne has a 1/10 chance of winning a prize. Is Monica or Brianne more likely to win a prize? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer: Monica

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Monica has a 20% chance of winning a prize

Brianne has a  $\frac{1}{10}$ chance of winning a prize

20% chance refers to

$\dfrac{20}{100}=\dfrac{2}{10}$

As

$\dfrac{2}{10}>\dfrac{1}{10}$

therefore, monica is more likely to win the prize.
