There are 16 girls and 18 boys in a class. The teacher chooses a student’s name at random to answer a question. What is the probability that the teacher chooses a girl to answer the question?
A. 1/34
B. 1/16
C. 8/17
D. 8/9
Step-by-step explanation: The probability of choosing a girl is the number of girls over the total number of students. Since there are 16 girls and 16+18 students, 16/34=8/17. Hope this helps! (Could I please have brainliest?)
