A bag of taffy contains three flavors chocolate maple and Jerry there is an equal number of each flavor what is the chance of reaching into the bag in getting a cherry flavored please show your answer as a fraction

Respuesta :

The answer is 1/3 because there are 3 different groups and there's a 1 chance probability that you're gonna pull out cherry
probablity=desired outcomes/total possible outcomes


there are 3 flavors, one of them is cherry

desired outcomes=1 (cherry)
total possible outcomes=3 (chocolate, maple and cherry)

so probablity off getting cherry is 1/3
