Step-by-step explanation:

Given : On a grocery store shelf, there are 16 loaves of white bread and 15 loaves of wheat bread.

To Find:  A shopper randomly selects a loaf of bread. What is the probability it is wheat?

Solution :

There are 16 loaves of white bread

There are  15 loaves of wheat bread.
