Chad has a bag with 2 mint sticks, 11 jelly treats, and 7 fruit tart chews. If he eats one piece every 4 minutes, what is the probability his first two pieces will be a jelly treat and a mint stick and represent as a percent to the nearest tenth if necessary?

Sagot :

Answer:

first you add all the candies together to get 20 in the bag

2+11+7=20

jelly treat:

now we divide 11 by 20 to get a decimal

11/20= .55

multiply .55 by 100 to change it to a percentage

.55*100=55

first part of answer: He has a 55% chance of getting a jelly treat

mint stick:

divide 2 by 20 to get a decimal

2/20=.1

change .1 to a percent by multiplying by 100

.1*100=10

second part of answer: he has a 10% chance of getting a mint stick
