Question

A glass vase factory recently produced 4 vases that were chipped and 16
vases that were not. Considering this data, how many of the next 10 vases
would you expect to be chipped?

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

4 chipped + 16 not chipped = 20 total

4 / 20 = 1/5 or 20% chance that vase will be chipped

Set up a proportion or find 20% of 10.

$\frac{1}{5} = \frac{x}{10}$     x = 2 (ten is on denominator because it's the total amount of vases)

or 10 * 0.2 = 2
