Question

A yard stick is placed on the table during a party game. A marker is placed at 11 inches, and labeled A, one labeled B at 24 inches, another labeled C at 26 and another labeled D at 36. A marble is shot toward the yard stick. What is the probability that the marble that hits the yard stick between A and D hits it between C and D? Write your answer as a percent.

Answer 1

A yardstick has 36 inches.

Between A (11) and D (36) is 36- 11 = 25 inches. So probability hits between A and D is 25/36 = 69.44%

Between C(26) and D (36) is 36 - 26 = 10 inches. So probability hits between C and D is 10/36 = 5/18 = 27.78%.
