A bag of 28 tulip bulbs contain 10 red tulip bulbs, 12 yellow tulip bulbs, and 6 purple tulip bulbs. What is the probability that one bulb is red and one is yellow?
Add all the possibilities, 12 + 10 + 6 = 28 (your denominator). Now, 10 + 12 = 22 (which is your red and yellow bulbs) 22/28, now simplify. 11/14 , you can't get any lower. Answer: 11/14
