There were 16 skittles in a bag there were 3 yellow, 4 red, 2 purple, 6 orange, and 1 green. What is the probability of pulling a red skittle (simplify your answer). The probability of a red is /

1 out of 8, or 12.5 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 2 red skittles out of 16 total skittles, and then we divide the numbers by 2, then we get 1 out of 8. Converting it into a percentage, there is a 12.5% chance of pulling out a red skittle.

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
