Laney went to the park and collected some cool rocks. She had four shiny * 4 puntos rocks, three blue rocks, and two rocks with holes. On the way to her vehicle, she lost two blue rocks. What is the probability of her friend picking a shiny rock out of her bag?(A) 4/9(B) 4/8(C) 4/7
Q. Laney went to the park and collected some cool rocks. She had four shiny * 4 puntos rocks, three blue rocks, and two rocks with holes. On the way to her vehicle, she lost two blue rocks. What is the probability of her friend picking a shiny rock out of her bag?(A) 4/9(B) 4/8(C) 4/7
Calculate Total Rocks: Determine the total number of rocks Laney had initially.She had 4 shiny rocks, 3 blue rocks, and 2 rocks with holes.Total rocks initially = 4 shiny + 3 blue + 2 with holesTotal rocks initially = 9 rocks
Calculate Rocks After Loss: Calculate the number of rocks Laney has after losing two blue rocks.She lost 2 out of the 3 blue rocks.Total rocks after losing 2 blue rocks = 9 initial rocks - 2 blue rocksTotal rocks after losing 2 blue rocks = 7 rocks
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of picking a shiny rock from the remaining rocks.The number of shiny rocks remains the same, which is 4.Probability = Number of shiny rocks / Total number of rocks after losing blue rocksProbability = 4 shiny rocks / 7 total rocksProbability = 74
