You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Basically the question is about the beans (and not the rice)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(Black Beans) = (# of cans of black beans)/(# of cans total)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(Black Beans) = 3/8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the probability is 3/8, which in decimal form is 0.375 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
