Answer:

The box contains 12 chocolates and, as Tatiane wants to remove a peanut candy, the probability that this will happen is 5/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the probability that Tatiane is able to randomly remove a peanut candy from the box, let's divide the amount of peanut candy by the total amount of candy present in the box.

  • We have to:

Probability = peanut candy / box candy

Probability = 5 / 3 + 5 + 2 + 2

Probability = 5 / 12
