Q
Q: If a bag contains 4 apples and 6 oranges, what is the probability of randomly selecting an orange?
Solution: The total number of fruits is 4 + 6 = 10. The probability of selecting an orange is 6/10 = 3/5.
Steps: 6
Step 1: Count the number of apples in the bag. There are 4 apples.
Step 2: Count the number of oranges in the bag. There are 6 oranges.
Step 3: Add the number of apples and oranges together to find the total number of fruits. 4 apples + 6 oranges = 10 fruits.
Step 4: Identify how many of the fruits are oranges. There are 6 oranges.
Step 5: To find the probability of selecting an orange, divide the number of oranges by the total number of fruits. This is 6 oranges / 10 total fruits.
Step 6: Simplify the fraction 6/10. This can be simplified to 3/5.
