Question

Passersby have taken 2 pieces of strawberry cake and 4 pieces of coconut cake from a sample tray. Based on past data, of the next 9 samples taken, how many should you expect to be pieces of strawberry cake?

I try but I have been stuck for an hour. Any helpers?

Answer 1

4 strawberry, 5 coconut !!

Explanation:

Well, out of the 6 that have been taken so far. 2 were strawberry and 4 were coconut. If this trend in the data continues you can assume that out of the next 9

4 will be strawberry and 5 will be coconut.

Answer 2

3 pieces of strawberry cake

Explanation:

Given data shows they took six pieces and then 9 more.

2/6 or 1/3 were strawberry cake.

1/3 of 9 = 3 pieces of strawberry cake
