On a game show, a contestant randomly chooses an envelope and wins
the prize that is written inside. There are 3 envelopes containing a car,
5 envelopes containing a vacation, and 2 envelopes containing
electronics.
What is the probability that a contestant picks a vacation?

Answer :

Answer:

D or 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 3 envelopes for a car, 5 envelopes for vacation, and 2 envelopes for an electronic, then add 3+5+2=10. But, we are figuring out the vacation envelopes, which there are 5 of those and 5 is half of 10. Therefore, your answer is 1/2.
