there are 10 apples for sale, along with 160 other pieces of produce, at todays farmers market. what is the probability that a randomly chosen piece of produce is an apple? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(apple) =

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total produce

$10 + 160=170$

Step2: Calculate probability

$P(\text{apple})=\frac{\text{Number of apples}}{\text{Total number of produce}}=\frac{10}{170}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{10\div10}{170\div10}=\frac{1}{17}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{17}$
