Question

For every 10 clovers that lucy picked, 3 of them had four leaves, while the others only had three leaves. in total, lucy picked 100 clovers. if her pattern continued, how many three-leaf and four-leaf clovers would lucy have?

how many of each clover would she have if she picked 200 clovers?

I need help! first to answer and the best answer will get 100 point and get to get 5 more if it is the best

Answer 1

• 100 = 30 (four-leaf) + 70 (three-leaf);
• 200 = 60 (four-leaf) + 140 (three-leaf).

--------------------------------------

Every 3 clovers out of 10 have four leaves and the rest 7 have three leaves.

This gives us the ratio of clovers with four leaves by the total number:

• 3/10 or 0.3

If the total number is 100, then Lucy has:

• 100*3/10 = 30 four-leaf and 70 three-leaf clovers

If there are 200 clovers, then the number of four-leaf clovers is doubled:

• 30*2 = 60 and the number of three-leaf clovers is

• 70*2 = 140
