Probability of Drawing a Red Ball

This animation breaks down a basic probability question from the ASVAB: a bag with 2 red balls and 6 blue balls, and the chance of drawing red. It visually sorts the balls, shows the fraction 2 out of 8 total balls, simplifies it, and converts it into a percent (25%). Useful for students reviewing ASVAB math sections or anyone learning how to turn simple ratios into percentages.
