What are the steps to take to figure out the answer? First: Go back and read how many items there are altogether. Next: Figure out what item the question is focusing on—in this case, it is the cube. Then: For this question, there are two cubes and there are eight items, so therefore, it is possible to choose one out of two cubes in the bag. Finally: You now know that the probability of choosing a cube out of all the eight items is 2 out of 8, or in other words… A. one-half B. one-fourth
