Question

a city held a bike parade. 10 bikers rode recumbent bicycles, and 82 bikers rode other types of bicycle.
what is the probability that a randomly chosen bike in the parade was a recumbent bicycle?
write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
p(recumbent bicycle) =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of bikes

$10 + 82=92$

Step2: Calculate probability

$P(\text{recumbent bicycle})=\frac{\text{Number of recumbent bicycles}}{\text{Total number of bicycles}}=\frac{10}{92}=\frac{5}{46}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{46}$
