Question

There is a bag with only milk and dark chocolates. The probability of randomly choosing a dark chocolate is 5 12 . There are 40 dark chocolates in the bag and each is equally likely to be chosen. Work out how many milk chocolates there must be.

Answer 1

Answer:

There must be 96 milk chocolates.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the original ratio, 5:12, and replace the 5 with 40, you'd discover that 40 divided by 5 is 8. So what do you do? You multiply the 12 by 8 to get 96 so now the ratio is 40:96.
