Hi there!
To solve this problem, we need to find the amount of classmates out of the entire class who did not choose blue as their favorite color and then convert it into a percentage.
First, let's find the fraction:
Since there are 25 total people in her class, since
6 + 9 + 10 = 25
25 is the denominator of the fraction;
Since there are 16 people who did not choose blue,
6 + 10 = 16
16 is the numerator of the fraction.
So, our fraction is 16/25.
Now, we need to convert it into a percentage. To do this, we need to make the denominator 100 by multiplying it by a certain number, and then multiplying the numerator by that same number so the fraction stays equal:
16/25
= 16*4/25*4
= 64/100
= 64%
So, the answer is 64% of Stephanie's classmates.
Hope this helps!
1/2 is the probability the coin would land heads up both times.
It is called Ecological Succesion hope that helped:)
