Question

CAN SOME ONE CHECK MY ANSWER?

A jar holds 42 yellow and 14 purple crayons. A crayon is pulled out of the jar at random and then placed back in the jar.

How many times can you expect that a purple crayon will be pulled out of the jar in 140 tries?

A.
14

B.
20 <==

C.
35

D.
47

Answer 1

No because it is 35 So i think it is C





Hope this helps

Answer 2

No, the answer is 35. Set up a proportion 14(purple)/56(total) equals x/140(tries)
14 times 140 =1960. 56 times x= 56x. Then divide 1960 by 56x to find x=35 which is the answer
