Answer 1

Answer:

the odds of drawing a white pearl is 5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

white pearls=5

gold rings=2

silver rings=6

5+2+6=13

odds of getting a white pearl= total white pearls/ total possibilities

=5/13

Answer 2

The odds of drawing white pearl is 5/13.

Given - Number of jewelry

Find - Probability of drawing white pearl

Solution - Probability = number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Number of favourable outcomes = 5 (number of white pearl)

Total number of outcomes = sum of number of all the jwelleries

Total number of outcomes = 5 + 2 + 6

Performing addition

Total number of outcomes = 13

Probability = $\frac{5}{13}$

Performing division

Hence, the odds of drawing white pearl from the box is 5/13.
