Answer:

22/39

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you start by adding up all of your straws(39), and then add just the straws you want to draw(22).

Next, you make 22(the straws you WANT to draw) your numerator, and 39(your total) your denominator.

Finally, find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) - which is 1 - and divide both numbers by it, to get 22/39.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

number of green straws=5

number of blue straws =8

number of orange straws=7

number of red straws =9

number of yellow straws=10

Total number of straws=5+8+7+9+10=39

Total of green ,orange and yellow straws=5+7+10=22

reqd  . probability=22/39

or=2200/39 ≈56.41 %

or~≈56.4~%
