Kayden has a bag that contains pineapple chews, lemon chews, and lime chews. He performs an experiment. Kayden randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Kayden performs the experiment 45 times. The results are shown below:A pineapple chew was selected 34 times.A lemon chew was selected 7 times.A lime chew was selected 4 times.Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Kayden removes from the bag will be lemon chew as a fraction in simplest form.Answer:
Q. Kayden has a bag that contains pineapple chews, lemon chews, and lime chews. He performs an experiment. Kayden randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Kayden performs the experiment 45 times. The results are shown below:A pineapple chew was selected 34 times.A lemon chew was selected 7 times.A lime chew was selected 4 times.Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Kayden removes from the bag will be lemon chew as a fraction in simplest form.Answer:
Calculate Probability: To find the probability of selecting a lemon chew, we need to divide the number of times a lemon chew was selected by the total number of chews selected.
Identify Lemon Chews: The number of times a lemon chew was selected is given as 7.
Total Chews Selected: The total number of chews selected is the sum of all the chews selected, which is 34 (pineapple) + 7 (lemon) + 4 (lime) = 45.
Calculate Fraction: Now we calculate the probability of selecting a lemon chew as a fraction: Probability = Number of lemon chews selected / Total number of chews selected = 457.
Simplify Fraction: We check if the fraction 457 can be simplified. Since 7 and 45 have no common factors other than 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
