Allison spins a spinner that has 3 red spaces, 4 blue spaces, and 2 green spaces. If all the spaces have an equal chance of being selected, what is the probability that Allison will spin a green or a blue? Enter your answer as a fraction, in lowest terms, using the / symbol, like this: 42/53

Respuesta :

2/3

there are a total of 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 spaces of which 2 are green and 4 are blue

P( green)= [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] and P( blue) = [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

P( green or blue ) = P(green) + P(blue) = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{6}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
