Answer:

3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

there are a total of 14 crayons in the box.

The probability of choosing a red crayon is 4/14 and the probability of choosing a yellow crayon is 2/14

The probability of choosing either red or yellow is the sum of those two fractions which gets you 6/14 which equals 3/7
