Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of almonds = 18 × [2/9]

Amount of almonds =  4 almonds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of mixed nuts = 18

Probability of almonds = 2/9

Find:

Amount of almonds

Computation:

Amount of almonds = Number of mixed nuts × Probability of almonds

Amount of almonds = 18 × [2/9]

Amount of almonds = 36 / 4

Amount of almonds =  4 almonds

Answer 2

Answer:

18 multiplied by 2/9 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of almonds that Pete grabbed, you have to multiply how much of the nuts were almonds by the total number of nuts that he grabbed. So,

   2/9 × 18

= 0.2222 × 18

= 4

Pete grabbed 4 almonds out of the 18 mixed nuts that he grabbed.

Hope that helps.
