Astack of cards contains 17 red cards and 9 black cards. what are the odds against drawing a red card?
a. 9: 17
b. 17: 9
c. 9: 26
d. 17: 26

To find the probability of choosing a red card we need to add both the cards so we have a total amount of cards.

17 + 9 = 26

Since, the question is asking the probability of choosing a RED card then the probability is a 17/26 chance. The answer choices are written as ratios. The ratio that is the same to 17/26 is [ D. 17:26 ]

Best of Luck!

c. 1-x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you insert 100 for x, and solve each answer choice, you would get -99 for c. That's the lowest value. Hope this helps.
