Q. At a T-shirt stand on the boardwalk, 55 of the last 1515 shirts sold were gray. Considering this data, how many of the next 1212 shirts sold would you expect to be gray?\newline\newline____ shirts\newline
  1. Calculate Proportion: Determine the proportion of gray shirts sold previously.\newlineCalculation: 55 gray shirts out of 1515 total shirts.\newlineProportion = 515=13\frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3}
  2. Predict Gray Shirts: Apply the proportion to predict the number of gray shirts in the next 1212 shirts sold.\newlineCalculation: 13\frac{1}{3} of 1212 = 12×(13)=412 \times \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) = 4
