Probability is written as a fraction.
On the top (numerator) of the fraction, we place the number of options we are looking for.
On the bottom (denominator) of the fraction, we place the total number of possible combinations.
Example
Look at these coloured cards.
What is the probability of selecting a red or blue card at random?
Answer
There are 2 options that "we are looking for". The red and the blue card.
There are 6 "possible combinations".
The probability of choosing a yellow card is 2/6 which reduces to 1/3.
