Question

A bag contains a total of 300 purple and yellow

Answer 1

Answer:

The best prediction of the total number of yellow beads in the bag is 192.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using proportions, by a rule of three.

We have that:

In the bead, there are 16 yellow beads out of 9 + 16 = 25. So how many are expected to be out of 300.

16 yellow - 25 beads

x yellow - 300 beads

Applying cross multiplication:

$25x = 300*16$

$x = \frac{300*16}{25}$

$x = 192$

The best prediction of the total number of yellow beads in the bag is 192.
