A container contains 8 red rocks, 16 blue rocks, and 23 white rocks.

What is the probability of selecting one red rock out of the container? Write your answer as a fraction (reduced) like \"5/16\"

What is the probability of selecting one blue rock out of the container? Write your answer as a fraction (reduced) like \"5/16\"

What is the probability of selecting one white rock out of the container? Write your answer as a fraction (reduced) like \"5/16\"

P(red) = Number of red / Total = 8 / (8 + 16 + 23) = 8/47

similarly, P(blue) = 16/47

and P(white) = 23/47
