Question

1. a bag contains 10 red pens, 15 blue pens, and 20 black pens. joseph will pull a pen from the bag. when joseph pulls a pen from the bag, how many outcomes are possible? 15 10 45 20

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the concept

The number of possible outcomes when pulling a pen is the total number of pens, as each pen is a distinct outcome. We need to sum the number of red, blue, and black pens.

Step2: Calculate total number of pens

The number of red pens is 10, blue is 15, and black is 20. So total pens = \(10 + 15 + 20\)
\(10+15 = 25\), then \(25 + 20 = 45\)

Answer:

45 (corresponding to the option with 45)
