Question

Susan has 20 pieces of candy in a bag: 6 mint sticks, 11 jelly treats, and 3 fruit tart chews. If she eats one piece every 5 minutes, what is the probability her first two pieces will both be jelly treats?

Answer 1

55%

Explanation:

1. You add all the candy together to show that all the candies added together equals 20.

11+6+3=20

2. You divide 11 by 20 to get the decimal

11/20=.55

3. To get the percentage you just have to multiply .55 by 100.

4. The final answer should be 55 %
