A box of crayons contains 3 red, 5 blues, and 2 green. If a child chooses a crayon at random, find the probability of choosing a green crayon.

Answer: 1/5 or 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is calculated by number of possible outcomes / number of total outcome.

From the information given,

Number of possible outcome is the number of green crayon which is 2

While number of total outcomes is the sum of all crayons which is 3 + 5 + 2 = 10

Thus, P (green crayon) = 2/10

=1/5 in simplest form

=1/5 or 0.2

2/10 or 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

because there is 2 green out of 10 crayons or rounded is 1/5
