Question

A bag of M&M's contained 18 brown M&M's out of 72 total in the bag. Predict how many brown M&M's there would be in a bag of 248 M&M's?

Answer 1

Think of it as a fraction >> 18/72

18/72 = .25 or 1/4 of the bag was with brown M&Ms

Now do 248 times .25 = 62 M&Ms

There you go. The answer is 62 Brown M&Ms
