What is the probability of choosing red?

Answer 1

Whats the simplified answer

Answer 2

The total number of balls in the container is 5 + 8 + 7 + 4 = <<5+8+7+4=24>>24.

The probability of choosing a red ball is 8/24 = <<8/24=0.3333333333333333>>0.33 or 33.33%. Answer: \boxed{0.33}.

Answer 3

The simplified answer is \boxed{\frac{1}{3}}.
