Respuesta :

Jonas need an orange. There is only 5 oranges.
A basket contains 13 pieces of fruit.
So,probability that jonas will get an orange,equals to:
[tex]P(A)= \frac{5}{13} \approx 39[/tex]%

Beth need an apple, There is only 5 apples. 
A basket contains 13 pieces of fruit.
[tex]P(B)= \frac{5}{13} \approx 39[/tex]%

[tex]P(A)+P(B)=5/13+5/13=10/13\approx 76[/tex]%
