I need help again. :( plzz help

Answer 1

Answer:

4 white horses.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the total of the first set of horses (basically how many total were in the table).

~ 3+2+9+1 = 15

Next we need to find how many horses were white horses out of these 15 horses. In short the proportion would be White Horses/Total Horses.

~  $\frac{3}{15}$ (or  $\frac{1}{5}$, simplified)

Now, all we need to do is create the proportion with 20 as the denominator (in this case, 20 will be the total horses, and we just need to find X, or how many horses are expected to be white out of all of those horses). The proportion will look somewhat like this:

~  $\frac{1}{5}$ = $\frac{x}{20}$

The final step is to multiply across (1x20) then divide that number by the 5 to find X.

~ 20÷5 = 4

Anyways, that means it would be expected to have 4 white horses out of 20 total. Hope this helped ^-^
