You randomly choose one paper clip from a jar. In the jar there are 6 green, 3 white, 4 red, 2 blue, and 5 yellow paper clips.

Find the probability of the following:

Choosing a yellow paper clip

You have a 25%, or 1/4 chance that you will choose a yellow paper clip.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, you want to find the total number of paper clips.

6 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 5 = 20 total paper clips

This is your denominator.

2) From the problem, we can understand that there are 5 yellow paper clips.

This is your numerator.

3) From the numerator and denominator we have from above, your fraction is 5/20.

4) This can be simplified into 1/4, which is 25%.
