1. Riley writes the letters C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A on cards and then places the cards in a hat. What is the probability of picking an L?

Question

A: 1/10
B:2/10
C:1/9

Please, help me!

Answer 1

There's one L and 10 letters.

What do you think the answer is?

Answer 2

1/10? ;o;

Answer 3

Yes. 1/10

Answer 4

How about

A bag contains 6 green marbles and 5 pink marbles. You select a marble at random. What are the ODDS in favor of picking a green marble?

A: 1:6
B: 5:6
C: 6:5

Answer 5

And your answer is?

Answer 6

My answer was B, but I'm not too sure about it.

Answer 7

But your problem states there are 6 green marbles. Why did you choose B with only 5 green marbles?

Answer 8

I thought the 5 was the pink marbles, not the 6 marbles, so it's going to be C? 6:5, since there are 6 marbles and 5 pink marbles?

Answer 9

Yes, C.
