Hello!

You first find out how many objects there are in total


4 + 9 + 3 = 16

Then you find the probability of Liliana picking a orange

Since there are 4 oranges and 16 things to pick she has a 4/16 chance of getting an orange

Next you find the probability of Liliana picking a pear

There are 3 pears and 16 items to pick so she has a 3/16 chance

Then you add them together to find the chance of either happening

4/16 + 3/16 = 7/16

So she has a 7 out of 16 chance of getting an orange or a pear

The answer is 7/16

Hope this helps!

Mary is painting pumpkins to earn money. She plans on selling each pumpkin for $7.50. She currently has $200 in her savings acco
bixtya [17]

Answer: No. It's not proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct proportion in mathematics is expressed as:

y = kx

where

y = $200

k = constant

x = $7.50

We then solve for k

y = kx

200 = 7.50k

k = 200/7.50

k = 26.67

Since k isn't a whole number, then the amount of money in her bank account proportional to the number of pumpkin she sells.
