Answer:
14 balls will be pink out of 21 balls.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
2 out of every 3 balls are pink in a multi color package.
Ratio of pink balls to balls drawn = 2:3
Number of balls in package = 21 balls
Number of pink balls = x
Ratio = x:21
This is a proportional relationship
2 : 3 :: x : 21
Product of mean = Product of extreme
3x = 21*2
3x = 42
Dividing both sides by 3
[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{42}{3}\\x=14[/tex]
Hence,
14 balls will be pink out of 21 balls.
