Question

Of the sundaes recently sold at Ice Cream Haven, 6 had nuts and 14 did not. Considering this data, how many of the next 10 sundaes sold would you expect to have nuts?

if you don't get it that's fine, it has weird numbers, I just need help understanding it

Answer 1

3 sundaes will have nuts

Explanation:

Note that the total number of sundaes so far is 20, 6 of which had nuts, and 14 didn't.

Therefore the fraction representing the sundaes with nuts would be 6/20 = 3/10.

The fraction without nuts would be 7/10.

The question is asking for you to predict the number of sundaes that will have nuts using these fractions. Out of 10 sundaes, 3 of them will have nuts.
