I order to solve this you have to find out how how much root beer there is to the total amount of candy. 12/27. Then you find out what the percentage of root beer there is by dividing 12 by 27. It’ll give you a decimal point. Percentage has a maximum of 100%. And you’ll find out what percent based on this decimal. Factor it out of 1. The percentage you get is .44. By factoring out of 1 you can find out that the percentage is 44%. So the probability of finding a root beer out of all the candy is roughly 44%
Answer: 5 people
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to do this is to set up a proportion. 6/12=x/10. To solve, cross-multiply and divide. Multiply 6 and 10 (6*10=60) and divide by 12 (60/12=5).
You can also find that 6/12 is equal to 1/2 by dividing each side by 6. Then multiply 10 by 1/2 (or divide 10 by 2) to get the final answer of 5 people.
An example of a one step equation would be 5+5=10
But equations with more than one step would be like: find the sum of 5+5 and then find 50% of the sum of 5+5
