Question

The area of a checker board is 64 square units. 32 of the square are red, and the other 32 are black. If you used it as a dart board, what is the probability that a dart will land in black square?

Answer 1

There are 64 equal-area squares and 32 are black, so the area of black squares is 32. The probability = black area / total area = 32/64 = 1/2 = 50%.
