12. Darnell keeps his cotton socks folded in pairs
in his drawer. Five pairs are black, 2 pairs are
navy, and 1 pair is brown. In the dark, he
pulls out one pair at random. What are the
odds that it is black?
There are a total of 8 pairs of socks and 5 black ones, so the ratio is 5/8. We can divide this and get the percent by 5/8=0.625 and multiply by 100% which equals 62.5%.
