There are 4 nickels and 4 dimes in your pocket.You randomly pick a coin out of your pocket and placed it on a counter. Then you randomly pick another coin. The first coin is a nickel and the second coin is a dime. What is the probability

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability of picking a nickel or a dime is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the same amount of nickels and dimes we can cancel them out. That would make it a 50% chance to get one or the other, or, a 1&1 chance, but since there is 8 coins all together there is a chance to pull out 2 nickels or 2 dimes. 4 possibilities.

1. 1 nickel 1 dime

2. 2 dimes

3. 2 nickels

4. 1 dime 1 nickel

4 x 25% = 100%

each possibility has a 25% chance to happen
