3/15, or 1/5, or 20%

Alex Greer · Answer 2

When you add all the worms in the bag together, you have a total of 15 worms. There are three green apple flavored sour worms. the ratio of green apple to the total is 3/15. To simplify this ratio further, divide by the common factor of 3. You will get 1/5. The probability that Dustin will pick a green apple worm is 1/5. To convert to percentage, simply divide one by 5. you will get. 2, which in percent is 20%. The probability that Dustin will pick a green Apple worm is 1/5 or 20%.
