Aaron Bolton · Answer 1

4/7, since there are 4 KSU socks and 7 total socks.

Brendon Gates · Answer 2

It's step by step. First you need to do 4+3 which equals 7, which is the total number of socks. Since the number of KSU socks is 4, the probability is 4/7.

Note-If another problem like this comes up and the two numbers have a common factor divide those numbers by that common factor and you get the simplest form of the ratio. This note was just a heads up.
