Answer 1

Answer:

Proportion of kickball =

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of ball, n = 10

Number of kickball,x = 3

Proportion of balls in fraction =

$p =\dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{3}{10}$

Proportion of balls in decimals =

$p =\dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{3}{10}\\\\p=0.3$

Proportion in words =

3 out of 10 balls are kick balls that is 30% of the balls are kick balls.
