Question 841962: Rene has 11 kittens. Four of the kittens are gray. The rest are black. If Rene selects a kitten at random, which expression represents the probability that she will select a black kitten?
A 1 - 4/7
B 1 + 4/7
C 1 - 4/11
D 1 - 7/11
My 6th grade son says that 1 - 4/11 = 7/11, so he says that "C" is the answer. Is this correct?
