Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Step 1:

Red Apple = 3

Green Apple = 1

Total number of Apple = 4

Step 2:

Ham sandwich = 1

Turkey sandwich = 1

Total number of sandwiches = 2

Step 3:

To find the probability that he will grab a red apple and a ham sandwich;

This is the probability of red apple multiplied by the probability of ham sandwich.

$\begin{gathered} Pr\text{ (Red) x Pr (ham)} \\ \frac{3}{4}\text{ }\times\text{ }\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \frac{3}{8} \end{gathered}$

CONCLUSION:

The probability that he will grab a red apple and a ham sandwich is 3/8
