Answer:
1 pink marble
Step-by-step explanation:
If Jamie selected 10 times the pink marble in a total of 420 tries, we can assume that the proportion of pink marble in the total number of marbles is:
10 / 420 = 1/42
So to predict a good number of pink marbles in the total 40 marbles, we just need to multiply the 40 marbles by the proportion found above:
pink marble = 40 * (1/42) = 0.9524
As this number needs to be a whole number, a good assumption is that there is 1 pink marble in the 40 marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you meant :
the restaurant has 20 1/2 pounds of bananas.
one smoothie uses 1/8 pound of bananas.
how many smoothies can be made with the amount of available bananas ?
the answer is as many as the times 1/8 fit into 20 1/2.
so, we actually calculate
(20 1/2) / (1/8)
first we will convert the mixed number into a true fraction :
20 1/2 = 40/2 + 1/2 = 41/2
so we have
41/2 / 1/8
and then, when dividing fractions we have 2 choices (they do both the same, of course, but start looking differently) :
a/b / c/d = a×d / b×c
a/b / c/d = a/b × d/c = a×d / b×c
so,
41/2 / 1/8 = 41×8 / 2×1 = 41×4 = 164
they can make 164 smoothies.
3/8 ÷ 3/4
4/8 = 1/2
