Answer 2

$\underline { \blue{ Details \: of \: crackers \: in \: a \: bag }}$

$monkey \: crackers = 5$

$giraffes \: crackers = 4$

$elephants \: crackers = 6$

$Tigers \: crackers = 3$

$\pink { Number \: of \: total \: possible \: outcomes } \\= Total \: crackers \: in \: the \:bag \\=5+4+6+3 \\= 18 \: --(1)$

$\blue { Number \: of \: favourable \: outcomes } \\= number \: of \: monkey \:crackers \\= 5 \: --(2)$

$\red{ Probability \: of \: pulling \: a \: monkey }\\\red{ crackers } = \frac{(2)}{(1)} \\= \frac{5}{18}$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Probability \: of \: pulling \: a \: monkey }\\\red{ crackers } \green { = \frac{5}{18}}$
