Question

Jake has a bag of 50 beads, some of which are blue and the remaining are green. Jake randomly pulls out a bead from the bag, records the color, and replaces it in the bag. Jake has already recorded 14 blue and 6 green beads. Based on these results, what is most likely the number of blue beads in the bag?
{A} 15
{B} 20
{C} 30
{D} 35

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

14 and 6 added together are 20, there are two sets of 20 and one 10 left over.  that means 6 + 6 + 3 = 15

Your answer is A, 15

Answer 2

It should be D: 35. 14 + 6 = 20. I just multiplied that by two, which equals 40. That means there are 2 sets of 14 and 2 sets of 6. Since there is 10 leftover, I divided both by 2. 7 + 3 = 10. 14 x 2 = 28 + 7 = 35
