## anonymous one year ago FAN AND MEDAL Tom is having lunch at Subway. He has 3 types of bread to choose from: White, Wheat or 7 grain. He also has 8 possible lunch meat options. If Tom randomly chooses a type of bread and lunch meat, what is the probability he will end up with a white turkey sub sandwich?

I think 24

3. anonymous

can you tell me how u got 24?

4. anonymous

Well I was drawing this you want me to draw this here?

5. anonymous

i just don't understand how it can be 24

6. anonymous

Well I am not really good at proballity

8. anonymous

so u mean it would be 24%?

9. anonymous

oh you mean that way

10. anonymous

but no

11. anonymous

I'm not really good at this

12. anonymous

i have no idea how to this so..

13. anonymous

me neither

14. anonymous

there is three ways to do this question with percent, with a number or you can say that it is likely or not.

15. anonymous

well my way was...

I don't know how to do this question but my way was that the circles are the bread choices and the lines are the meat choices.

I think this wrong, I really don't know sorry I could not help.

|dw:1433871708424:dw| @mathman101 you were on the right track As you can see...there are 24 POSSIBLE choices of a type of bread and a type of meat So if there are 24 possible choices...and only 1 choice combination will give you a turkey white sub...your probability would be $\large P(\text{White,Turkey)}\frac{1}{24} = ?$

21. anonymous

Ohhh

22. anonymous

ok so I was half right and half wrong

23. johnweldon1993

So @kiamousekia we just need to evaluate $$\large \frac{1}{24} = ?$$ and change the answer to a percent by multiplying by 100

24. anonymous

one sec

25. anonymous

0.0417 right?

26. anonymous

1/24 is 4/100 so 4%?

27. johnweldon1993

1/24 does indeed equal 0.0417 which in a percent is 4.17%

k thanks

No problem!
