Respuesta :

Answer:

It would be the orange popsicle sticks

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The color Orange has a 1/5 chance of being chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the total: 4 + 8 + 3 = 15

Yellow = 4

[tex]\frac{4}{15}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{15}[/tex], cannot be reduced any further so we know the color yellow is not the correct answer.

Purple = 8

[tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex], cannot be reduced any further so we know the color yellow is not the correct answer.

Orange = 3

[tex]\frac{3}{15}[/tex] simplifies into [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

So Orange is the correct answer.
