Question 832179: Betina's daughter, Anna, wants balloons for her 4th birthday party. Betina orders two dozen large balloons. Six are red, 10 are white, and the rest are blue. Anna pops one of the balloons. What is the probability that the balloons is blue, the color of her eyes?
A) 1 out of 3
B) 4 out of 12
C) 4 out of 20
D) 4 out of 24 Answer by Holuwaseun(2) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! One dozen is 12,
two dozen will be 12*2=24.
6 red balloons
10 white balloons
blue = total number of the balloons -(6 10)
=24-16
=8
so, we have 8 blue balloons.
Therefore probability of her(Anna) to pop a blue balloon is
8/24 = 1/3.
The answer is (A) 1 out of 3.
