    A bag contains tiles, 3 tiles are red. 6 tiles are green, and 3 tiles are blue. A tile will be randomly selected from the bag . What is the probability that the tile selected will be green

    P(green) = Number of green tiles / Total Tiles
    P(green) = 6 / (3 + 6 + 3)
    P(green) = 6 / 12

    We can simplify this fraction. We type in 6/12 into our search engine, pick simplify, and we get:
    P(green) = 1/2 or 0.5
