PLEASE HELP...FAST :)!! You are playing a game similar to shuffleboard, where you need to slide a puck into the light gray area of the board in order to score points. The board is surrounded by wood boards that keep the puck in the playing surface. An image of the board and its dimensions are shown below.

What is the probability that you slide the puck into the light gray area? Your answer may be written as a fraction or a decimal

The probability is _

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a geometric probability you would divide the area of the section wanted over the total area. In this case we would basically be dividing the area of the light grey box over the area of the dark grey rectangle(including where the light grey rectangle is). The area of a rectangle is the width times the length, so the area of the rectangles would be:

Light Grey:

4ft x 1.5ft = 6ft^2

Dark Grey:

12ft x 5ft = 60ft^2

Now we divide the areas:

6ft^2 / 60ft^2 = 0.1
