A bowl contains candies of the same size in three flavors: orange, strawberry, and pineapple. If the probability of randomly pulling out an orange candy is fraction 2 over 8 , and the probability of randomly pulling out a strawberry candy is fraction 1 over 8 , what is the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy?

A. fraction 4 over 8
B. fraction 5 over 8
C. fraction 6 over 8


Sagot :

Answer:

The correct answer is B. fraction 5 over 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Orange candy = 2/8

Strawberry candy = 1/8

Pineapple candy = 5/8

Add: 2/8 + 1/8 + 5/8 = 8/8 or 1 (all the candies in the jar)
