Question

Martin is helping his mom set up for a school event. His mom put 150 cups into a box. There are 40 red cups, 60 blue cups, and

50 green cups in the box. He randomly picks 90 cups from the box and sets them out on tables.
How many blue cups is he likely to have set out on tables?

Answer 1

C. 36

There are 150 cups total, and 60 blue cups

`150/60=0.4`

Multiply that by the number of cups he picked up

`0.4*90=36`
