There are a total of 6 letters in the word AUGUST, and out of those 6 letters, there is 1 U.
Therefore, the probability of selecting the letter U is:
Number of U's / Total number of letters = 1 / 6
This probability can be simplified to:
1/6
So, the probability of selecting the letter U from the bag is 1/6.
