Maggie has 7 tiles with pictures of plants and 2 tiles with pictures of animals. Maggie keeps all the tiles on a mat with the pictures hidden and mixes them up. She then turns one tile face up and finds the picture of a plant on it. She removes this tile from the mat and turns over another tile without looking. What is the probability that the second tile that Maggie turns over has a plant on it?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:6/8 - - - - simplified 3/4Step-by-step explanation: removing the tile she just flipped over would be 6 plants and 2 animals so there would be 8 total tiles and you would putt the remaining tiles over it like so 6/8 meaning out of the remaining 8 tiles 6 of them are plants giving her a 6 in 8 chance or a 3 in 4 chance
