Question

a teacher brings bagels there are 4 everything bagels 6 sesame seed ones and 8 whole angles, if u were to randomly select a bagel what are the chances of it being whole weat

Answer 1

To find the probability of randomly selecting a whole wheat bagel, you can use the formula for probability:

\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}
\]

In this case:

- There are 8 whole wheat bagels (favorable outcomes).
- The total number of bagels is the sum of all the bagels:

\[
4 \text{ (everything bagels)} + 6 \text{ (sesame seed bagels)} + 8 \text{ (whole wheat bagels)} = 18 \text{ (total bagels)}
\]

Now, the probability of selecting a whole wheat bagel is:

\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{8}{18} = \frac{4}{9}
\]

So, the chances of randomly selecting a whole wheat bagel is \(\frac{4}{9}\).
