3/4 of the bar is shaded
How to teach it

Order events from impossible to certain in everyday language, then quantify simple chances as fractions of the equally-likely outcomes.

Worked example
A bag has 8 balls. 2 are red. What is the probability of picking a red one? Write it as a fraction.
Answer: 2/8
Why: favourable 2 out of 8 total = 2/8

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.
