Salina has four pennies and three dimes in her pocket. She selects one coin from her pocket. What are the chances the coin is a penny?


1 out of 7

4 out of 7

4 out of 3

3 out of 7

Verified Answer :

the answer is 4 out of 7
add the number of pennies and dimes 4+3=7 and there are 4 pennies 4/7

So,

The sum of the total number of pennies and dimes is 7.

Since there are 4 pennies, the probability of selecting a penny is \(\frac{4}{7}\) .

That is the second option.
