The experimental probability in this problem is given by the total amount of silver coins Clarisse pulled over the total amount of coins Clarisse pulled.

She pulled 48 silver coins out of the 60 she pulled in total. Set up a fraction:

[tex]\frac{48}{60} [/tex]

This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 12:

[tex]\frac{48}{60} \div \frac{12}{12} = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

The experimental probability of pulling another silver token is 4/5.
