Sloan · Answer 1

You take the total number as the denominator and the amount of each become your numerators. For numbered it's 4/6 then you divide both the top and bottom number by two and you get 2/3 or 66%.

Alvin Reilly · Answer 2

4/6 because the bag holds six tiles total so 4 of the 6 are numbered so you would have 4/6 of a chance of picking a numbered tile.
