Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

4+2+3=9

so,6/9=1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

The probability of getting a jelly is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

We have,

No. of  caramels = 4

No. of  chocolates = 2

No. of  jellies = 3

Total items = 3+2+4= 9

So, probability of getting a jelly,

$Probability = \frac{Favourable \:outcomes}{Total\:outcomes} \\Probability = \frac{3}{9} =\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, The probability of getting a jelly is 1/3.
