A menu offers the choices 3 main dishes (chicken,fish,steak), 4 side items(green beans,mash potatoes,mac and cheese, and broccoli) and 2 desserts(ice-cream and cake).What is the probability that someone will pick ice-cream as their dessert?

Answer 1

two choices, so 1/2

All that extra data bout salads, entrees and sides reminds me of the riddle --

a bus driver starts his day. He stops and picks up 5 people. He stops, lets 2 off, picks up 4 more. he stops, lets on 3 more. He stops and lets 6 off, and picks up 2 more. he stops and drops off 5.

How many stops did he make?
