To find the probability of selecting a vowel letter from the word "MODELS," we first identify the vowels in the word. In "MODELS," the vowels are:

  • O
  • E

There are a total of 6 letters in "MODELS," and 2 of them are vowels.

The probability of selecting a vowel can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Probability of selecting a vowel} = \frac{\text{Number of vowels}}{\text{Total number of letters}} = \frac{2}{6} \]

This fraction can be simplified to:

\[ \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \]

Thus, the probability of selecting a vowel letter from the word "MODELS" is:

Response: \(\frac{1}{3}\)
