On a grocery store shelf there are 16 loads of white bread and 15 loaves of wheat bread what are the probability it is wheat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{15}{31}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability would be "what we want" divide by "total number".

Here, total amount of bread (both white and wheat) is 16 + 15 = 31

Also, we want probability of wheat bread. How many are there? 15

Thus, we divide 15 by 31.

Probability (Wheat) = 15/31

Answer:

[tex] \frac { 15 } { 31 } [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 16  loaves of white bread and 12 loaves of wheat bread on a grocery store shelf.

Given the above information, we are to find the probability of wheat bread.

Total number of breads = [tex] 1 6 + 1 5 = 3 1 [/tex]

Probability of wheat bread = [tex] \frac { 15 } { 31 } [/tex]
