I need help with this math problem?

You have the numbers 1-24 written on slips of paper. If you choose one slip at random, what is the probability that you will not be select a number which is divisible by 3?


choices:


a.3/8


b.1/3


c.5/8


d.2/3

I need help with this math problem?
24/3 = 8 so there are 8 numbers divisible by three and 16 that are not. The prob. is 16/24


This can be reduced to 2/3


The answer is D.
