Question

there are 16 blue bikes and 8 tan bikes in your dads bikeshop. If you close your eyes and take one bike out of your dads bikeshop , what is the probability that the bike will be blue? write your answer as a fraction

Answer 1

Given:

There are 16 blue bikes and 8 tan bikes in your dad's bike shop.

So, the total bikes = 16 + 8 = 24 bikes

We will find the probability that choosing a blue bike:

$\begin{gathered} probability=\frac{number\text{ }of\text{ }blue\text{ }bikes}{total\text{ }bikes} \\ \\ probability=\frac{16}{24}=\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}$

So, the answer will be: probability = 2/3
