1 Marlena has a bag of coins. The bag
contains 8 quarters, 10 dimes, 4 nickels,
and 2 pennies. She will randomly select a
coin from the bag. What is the probability
that Marlena will select a nickel? (7.1A,
7.1B, 7.1F)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability is 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to get the total number of coins

that would be the sum of all the coins present

We have this as;

8 + 10 + 4 + 2 = 24 coins

The number of nickels is 4

So the probability of selecting a nickel is the number of nickels divided by the total number of coins

We have this as;

4/24 = 1/6
