A bag contains 6 white counters, 10 black counters, and 7 green counters. What is the probability of drawing

Question

A.  a white counter or a green counter?

B. a black counter or a green counter?

C. not a green counter?

Answer 1

A)

First, you will add all of the counters. 6+10+7= 23

Then, you will add the number of counters that are available for the "drawing":

6 white plus 7 green= 13 counters

The probability of drawing a white or green counter is 13/23.

B) Work on B using what you learned for A.

Good luck!
