The 200 quarters in the full bag were likely to be eagle quarters.
What is the ratio?
In mathematics, ratios are used to determine the relationship between two numbers it indicates how many times is one number to another number.
Given that:-
- Lee has a bag with 500 quarters. Some are the older eagle quarters, and others are the
- newer state quarters. She pulls out 10 quarters at random. Four are eagle quarters, and 6 are
- state quarters. Based on this sample, how many of the quarters in the full bag were likely tobe eagle quarters
We can conclude from the given data that the ratio of the Eagle and state quarters is 4:6 or 2:3 suppose the common factor is a so the value will be calculated as:-
E + S = 500
2a + 3a = 500
5a = 500
a = 100
E = 2a
E = 2 x 100 = 200
Therefore 200 quarters in the full bag were likely to be eagle quarters.
