Question

Leila purchased a snack-size roll of candy tarts, and found that only 1/7 of them were grape-flavored. Suppose Leila later

buys a king-size roll of candy tarts that contains 40 pieces. How many of that roll can she expect to be grape-flavored?

HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Answer 1

6 candy tarts

Explanation:

Based on Leila's observations, we would expect all boxes of candy tarts to have 1/7 grape-flavoured ones. If we have a box of 40, we can find the expected number of grape flavoured nady tarts by multiplying 40 and 1/7.

40 × 1/7 = 5.714285714

You can round this to 6 candy tarts
