A group of five boys and three girls are trying out for a play. What is the probability that the first person chosen to be in the play is a boy?
Question 2 options:
3 of 5
5 of 8
3 of 8
There are a total of 8 people trying out for the play, with 5 boys and 3 girls. The probability that the first person chosen is a boy can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (choosing a boy) by the total number of possible outcomes (choosing any person).
In this case, there are 5 boys out of a total of 8 people trying out, so the probability of choosing a boy as the first person is 5/8.
Therefore, the correct answer is "5 of 8".
Julie has 2 red crayons, 3 green crayons, 5 black crayons, 1 blue crayon, and 3 orange crayons in a box. If she reaches in the box without looking and selects a crayon, what is the probability she will get a green crayon?

There are a total of 2 red crayons + 3 green crayons + 5 black crayons + 1 blue crayon + 3 orange crayons = 14 crayons in the box.
Out of these 14 crayons, there are 3 green crayons.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a green crayon is 3/14.
So, the correct answer is "3 of 14".
