Question

Mary counts the blue and orange gumballs present in a gumball machine. She determines there are 10 blue and 6 orange gumballs. Mary makes the claim, "I am most likely going to get a blue gumball when I turn the knob because the ratio of blue to orange gumballs is 5.2." Mary's claim is incorrect. Which statement identifies the errors Mary has made?​

Answer 1

if you divide 10 by 2 and 6 by 2 you will get 5 and 3. the ratio in this question is not 5:2 it is 5:3.
