Chicken : Hamburger : Fish

Ball : Parachute : Frisbee

Your probability is

2 : 1 : 1

your probability of getting a ball is 2 out of 4 items,

so it is 1/2

Answer 3

2/3 (number of chicken and fish meals over total) x1/2 (number of balls over total. It actually is 2/4 but is reduce.) =2/6 1/3

What you need to do is find the probability of each event by putting the favorable outcome over the total outcomes and multiply them together.

The answer is 1/3.
