Nobody likes to peel the potatoes for granny’s famous mashed taters. However someone has to do it. Granny puts 8 blocks in a bag. 4 red, 3 green and 1 yellow. She makes all the grandkids pick a block. If you pick green- you are a potato peeler. You pick first. What is the probability you will pick a green block
Accepted Solution
A:
3 out of 8 of the blocks are green, so the chance you'll choose a green block is 3/8, 37.5% or 0.375.
