if you add 12(blue) 14(red) 6(yellow) you get 32 so 12/32 is 0.37

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]  or 37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

A bowl of candy is sitting on the counter.

Blue pieces = 12

Red pieces = 14

Yellow pieces = 6

Total candy = 12 + 14 + 6 = 32 pieces

The probability of randomly selecting a blue piece = [tex]\frac{12}{32}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

The probability of randomly selecting a blue piece = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] 37.5%
