Question

You don't like to match your socks up after they have been washed and toss them into your dresser. Your dresser drawer has 3 blue socks, 6 black socks, 8 brown socks, and 4 white socks. What is the probability that you will pull out a blue sock?

Answer 1

`1/7`

Explanation:

There are `3` blue socks and `3+6+8+4` socks altogether.

This means we have a `3/21` chance of getting the right colour sock.

`3/21 = 1/7`
