The basket contains 30 apples, 20 pears, and 10 peaches. What is the probability that the first piece of fruit taken from the basket will be a peach?

1 answer

There are a total of 30 + 20 + 10 = 60 pieces of fruit in the basket.

The probability of selecting a peach on the first try is:

10/60 = 1/6

Therefore, the probability that the first piece of fruit taken from the basket will be a peach is 1/6.
