For breakfast, Clarissa can choose from oatmeal, cereal, French toast, or scrambled eggs. She thinks that if she selects a breakfast at random, it is likely that it will be oatmeal. Is she correct? Explain your reasoning.

It is as likely as the other breakfast options if there are only one of each.

What is the reasoning for this? How can it be shown with math?
THANKS!!

The chance of selecting oatmeal is 1/4, which is the same for all of them. :-)
