Question

Jonathan likes salted cashew nuts. He likes them better than any other nut. His mother went to the candy shop and bought a bag of mixed nuts. In the bag there were 6 Brazil nuts, 18 cashews, 6 walnut halves, and 4 peanuts. If Jonathan takes out one nut without looking, what is the probability he will get a cashew? Write your answer in fraction form.

Answer 1

6+18 + 6 + 4 = 10 + 24 = 34 total
so 18/34 = 9/17
