Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume n is the number of times she pick a skittle out of the bag

The probability she pick out red : 8/n

The probability she pick out yellow : 12/n

=> The ratio of red and yellow skittle : 8/n : 12/n = 8/12 = 2/3, means every 2 red skittles we have 3 yellow ones.

But we have 50 skittles, so the likely numbers of reds in the bag is = 2*\frac{50}{5} = 20
