If he allows 40 people to choose a treat from his bag, about how many lizard polis can he expect to give away?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 Lizard lollies.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 is half of 40, and if you look at all the lollipops in the picture, the Lizard lollies has the most quantity.

Answer 2

Answer:

20 lizard lollis

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 lizard lollis.  This is out of 10+4+6 = 20 total treats.  This makes the probability of drawing a lizard lolli 10/20 = 1/2.

This means out of 40 treats handed out, we can expect him to give out 1/2(40) = 20 lizard lollis.
