Answer:
Emma was right to say that both packages are close to 2 pounds.
If we round-off the weights of both to the nearest whole number we would get 2 pounds on both. We look at the the difference of both from 2 pounds we get the following:
2.36 - 2.0 = 0.36
2.09 - 2.0 = 0.09
The smaller the difference the closer it is to the base value. So we can say that the closest one is 2.0 pounds is the package that weighs 2.09 pounds.
I see the answers,but where is the problem (equation that needs to be solved)
Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>1. As a fraction: 9/50</u>
- <u>2. As a proportion: x/1 = 9/50</u>
- <u>3. As a percentage: 18%</u>

Explanation:
<u>1. As a fraction:</u>
Depart from the definition of probability: probability is the number of favoragle outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes:
- Probability = number of movie-goers who say they watched a movie on Netflix this week / number of movie-goers that saw a movie this week
<u>2. As a proportion:</u>
A proportion is the equality of two ratios. In this case you must set the ratio of people who say they watched it on Netflx, x, per every people who saw a movie this week, 1, equal to the ration 9 /50.
Hence, the proportion that shows the probability is:
Where x is the probability.
<u>3. As a percentage</u>
You just have to multiply the probability by 100:
16 candles. 14 multiplied by 8 equals 112. 112 divided by 7 equals 16.
