A box of candy contains 24 chocolates that are all the same shape, size, and color. Ten of the chocolates have vanilla cream centers, six have chocolate cream centers, and the
rest have caramel centers. What is the probability of randomly selecting a chocolate with a caramel center?

A. 1/4

B. 1/3

C. 5/12

D. 2/3

B. 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

- There are 24 total chocolates

- 10 + 6 of them do not have caramel centers, the rest of them do.

The first step is to evaluate how many chocolates have caramel centers. To do this, add 10 and 6.

10 + 6 = 16

Now, subtract that number from 24 to get the amount of chocolates with caramel centers.

24 - 16 = 8

8 of the chocolates have caramel centers. This means that the ratio of caramel centered chocolates to all chocolates is 8:24, or 8 out of 24.

Since the question is looking for a fraction answer, convert the ratio to a fraction. 8:24 becomes 8/24.

Now, simplify the fraction. 8/24 becomes 1/3.

The final answer is 1/3.
