The table below shows the number of bouncy ball possibilities at an arcade. Each of the bouncy balls have one color and one design. If a red bouncy ball is chosen at random, what is the possibility that it will have stars on it?
A. ¼
B. ½
C. 33%
D. 5/12
A. ¼
Explanation: According to the table there are 5 red balls with spots, 3 red balls with stars and 4 red balls with hearts. So, 5 + 3 + 4 = 12. Since 3 of these have stars, that means three of them are a possible outcome. So a child has a 3/12 possibility for choosing a red ball with stars. 3/12 can then be reduced to ¼.
