Q: Susan has 5 quarters, 3 dimes, 1 nickel, and 7 pennies in her wallet. If she randomly chooses a coin from the wallet, what is the probability that it is a quarter?
UNANSWERED.
The correct answer is A.
A: The answer is 5/16. The total number of coins in her wallet is 16 (5 quarters + 3 dimes + 1 nickel + 7 pennies). The probability of selecting a quarter is outcomes wanted / all outcomes = 5/16.
