Basically all the information in this problem is useless. They included all those numbers to confuse you. If you read throughly you can see that all you need to know is that Adam's sister can only have 70 grams of fat each day and that her dinner will have 48 grams of fat.
To figure this out I use this formula all the time to figure out percentages.
is/of=x/100
Your trying to figure out what is 48 percent of 70 because that's how much Adam's sister is going to eat at dinner. So your is would be 48 and your of is 70. When you substitute those numbers your formula becomes 48/70=x/100. Now you cross multiply and get 70x=4800.All that's left is to divide 70 on both sides. Which gives you 68.57.The final answer is 69 percent.
Answer: A probability of 1 means the event is certain to happen. A probably of zero means the event is certain not to happen.
If other tickmarks are labeled, then you could do some detective work (of sorts) to figure out the unlabeled tickmarks.
For example, let's say we had a number line with 1,2,3,... and let's say that 7 was covered up or erased or smudged. So we have 1,2,3,4,5,6,__,8,9. We could then easily determine that 7 must go in that blank spot. This is just one example of course.
Another example could be that if we had a tickmark right in the middle of two whole numbers, say 0 and 1. This unlabeled tickmark would most likely be 1/2 = 0.5 as its at the halfway point between 0 and 1.
