Question

The proportion of brown M&M's in a milk chocolate packet is approximately 14% (Madison, 2013). Suppose a package of M&M's typically contains 52 M&M's

​

Answer 1

7 brown M&Ms.

Explanation:

This question is not complete, but I will assume that the final question is how many brown M&Ms will be in this package.

0.14 × 52 is our equation.

The answer is 7.28. We cannot have .28 of a brown M&M in a package (unless you count the broken ones) so there will be, on average, 7 brown M&Ms in a package.

(again, the question is incomplete, so this may not be the answer)
