4/9 A bag contains 4 apples, 6 pears and 8
oranges. What is the probability of
picking an orange? (in simplest form)
Using the question above, what is the
COMPLEMENT of picking an orange from
the bag?

The probability of picking an orange is 8/18, or 4/9.

8/18 of the fruits are oranges, so 10/18 of the fruits are not oranges. The complement of picking an orange is 10/18 or 5/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 apples, 6 pears, and 8 oranges. That adds up to 18 fruits. 8 of those are oranges, so the probability of picking an orange is 8/18, or 4/9 simplified.

The complement means all outcomes that are NOT the favorable outcome, or in this case, all outcomes that are not oranges. There are 8 oranges out of 18, so there are 10 fruits that are not oranges. This makes the complement 10/18, or 5/9 simplified.

0.6, 3/5, and 6% are the 3 same portion.

but, when they're all changed to a decimal they would equal to 0.6.

hope this , good luck!
