The least number of balloons in the package where Benjamin takes 1 balloon with a probability of picking a yellow equals 1/2 is six balloons.

What is probability?

Probability refers to the chance that an outcome occurs given several outcomes.

Probability is expressed as fractions, decimals, or percentages, just like proportions and ratios.

Data and Calculations:

                              Yellow       Pink            Purple     Total

Probability             1/2               1/3              1/6            6/6 (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6)

Least outcomes    3 (1/2 x 6)   2 (1/3 x 6)   1 (1/2 x 6)  6

Thus, the least number of balloons in the package is 6.
