Based on the question, there is a total of 46 nuts.
Out of the 46 nuts, there are 16 almonds.
Therefore, the probability of picking an almond is 16 over 46.
Simplify 16/46 by dividing 2 on both numerator and denominator.
[tex]\frac{16\div2}{46\div2}=\frac{8}{23}[/tex]Answer: The probability that an almond is chosen is 8/23.
