At a T-shirt stand on the boardwalk, 5 of the last 15 shirts sold were gray. Considering this data, how many of the next 12 shirts sold would you expect to be gray?

Answer:

4

Explanation:

So, 5/15 shirts are gray.

This can be simplified to 1/3. (5÷5 = 1, 15÷5=3)

So taking this data into account, if we have 12 shirts, one third of them should be gray. So, 12/3 = 4.
