Answer 1

To find the probability of selecting a vowel letter from the word "MODELS", we first need to identify the vowels in the word. The vowels in "MODELS" are O and E.

1. Count the total number of letters in "MODELS":
- There are 6 letters: M, O, D, E, L, S.

2. Count the number of vowels:
- There are 2 vowels: O and E.

3. Using the probability formula for selecting a vowel, which is the number of favorable outcomes (vowels) divided by the total number of outcomes (letters):

\[
\text{Probability of selecting a vowel} = \frac{\text{Number of vowels}}{\text{Total number of letters}} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
\]

Thus, the probability of selecting a vowel letter from the word "MODELS" is **1/3**.

The correct response is:

**1/3**
