there are 8 pairs of black socks and 4 pairs of white socks in a drawer. how likely is it that you would randomly pick a black pair of socks

Sagot :

Answer: I would pick black socks too because there are 8 pair of black socks with 4 pairs of white socks and 8 is > greater than 4.

Okay, so...

If there are 8 black socks + 4 white socks, then it = 12 socks totall. the fract Would Be 8/12 but if you simplify it, its 4/6, if you simplify it one more time you final answer is.....

You will have a 2/3 chance of picking a black sock.
