In this question we are asked to find the ratio of the number of chocolates which Lauren liked and the total of chocolates.
We know she doesn't like coconut and toffee, so she likes caramel, mint and cherry. When we count the ones she liked, we got

.
When we add to find how many chocolates are there, we got

.
To find the ratio we need to divide the first one and the second one:

is our probability.
The answer would be 6 I think
28 men are needed to paint the room in 3 hours
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that it takes 12 hours for 7 men to paint a room
We are asked to find number of men required to paint the room in 3 hours
Recognize, "paint the room" is 1 task. One job.
7 men -------- 12 hours ------ 1 job
(7/7) = 1 men ------- 12 x 7 (84) ------- same 1 job
The one men is rate is 84 hours to do the job
We can express this as 1/84 jobs per hour, the one-person rate
Now lets find how many men needed to paint the room in 3 hours
Let the required number of men for 3 hours be "a"
The rates of each person is simply additive.

corresponds to rate x hours = jobs and "a" is a variable for how many men

Thus 28 men are needed to paint the room in 3 hours
