Question

If two out of every three balls in a multi color package is pink how many balls in a package of 21 balls will be pink

Answer 1

Answer:

14 balls will be pink out of 21 balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

2 out of every 3 balls are pink in a multi color package.

Ratio of pink balls to balls drawn = 2:3

Number of balls in package = 21 balls

Number of pink balls = x

Ratio = x:21

This is a proportional relationship

2 : 3 :: x : 21

Product of mean = Product of extreme

3x = 21*2

3x = 42

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{42}{3}\\x=14$

Hence,

14 balls will be pink out of 21 balls.
