Question

You plant 30 African Violet seeds and 6 of them sprout. Use experimental probability to predict how many will sprout if you plant 40 seeds?

Answer 1

Given :-

• 6 plants sprout among 30 seeds

To Find :-

• How many will sprout if we plant 40 seeds

Answer :-

• 8 plants

Solution :-

• Firstly we will find the value of each plant to sprout among given plants . Them for finding the value for 40 seeds, we will multiply it with 40 to get the answer .

Plants Sprout among 30 seeds = 6

Plants Sprout among 1 seed = $\sf\dfrac{6}{30}=\dfrac{1}{5}$

A.T.Q

• Now we have to find how many plants will sprout if you plant 40 seeds

Plants sprout for 40 seeds

$\implies\sf{\dfrac{1}{5}\times40}$

$\implies\sf{\dfrac{1}{\cancel{5}}\times\cancel{40}}$

$\implies\sf{8}$

• So, 8 plants will sprout if we will plant 40 seeds

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

6 plants sprout among 30 seeds

To Find :-

How many will sprout if we plant 40 seeds

Answer :-

8 plants

Solution :-

Firstly we will find the value of each plant to sprout among given plants . Them for finding the value for 40 seeds, we will multiply it with 40 to get the answer .

Plants Sprout among 30 seeds = 6

Plants Sprout among 1 seed = \sf\dfrac{6}{30}=\dfrac{1}{5}

30

6

A.T.Q

Now we have to find how many plants will sprout if you plant 40 seeds

Plants sprout for 40 seeds

\implies\sf{\dfrac{1}{5}\times40}⟹

5

1

×40

\implies\sf{\dfrac{1}{\cancel{5}}\times\cancel{40}}⟹

5

×

40

\implies\sf{8}⟹8

So, 8 plants will sprout if we will plant 40 seeds
