Answer 1

Given:

Drawing a vowel from letter tiles that spell out MATHEMATICS.

Chances = $\dfrac{?}{?}$

To find:

The correct values for the blanks.

Solution:

Vowels are a, e, i, o, u.

In MATHEMATICS, the vowels are A, E, A, I.

Number of vowels = 4

We know that,

$Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of selected vowels}}{\text{Total number of vowels}}$

$Probability=\dfrac{1}{4}$

So, the chance of drawing a vowel from letter tiles that spell out MATHEMATICS is $\dfrac{1}{4}$.

Blank 1: 1

Blank 2: 4

Therefore, the value for blank 1 is 1 and the value for blank 2 is 4.
