Answer: \(\frac{8}{25}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cards in the bag=\(16+16+18=50\)

The number of cards has triangle = 16

The probability that a randomly selected card has a triangle drawn on it is given by :-

\(=\frac{\text{Number of cards has triangle}}{\text{Total cards}}\\\\=\frac{16}{50}\\\\=\frac{8}{25}\)

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected card has a triangle drawn on it =\(\frac{8}{25}\)
