There are 16 girls and 18 boys in a class. The teacher chooses a student's name at random to answer a question.
What is the probability that the teacher chooses a girl to answer the question?
А: 1/34
B:1/16
C:8/17
D: 8/9
I would A because if you do 16+18 that is 34 and the teacher would only be choosing one girl. So I think it is A. I’m sorry if this is wrong! Have a great day!
