Q:

One morning a bagel shop sold 3 plain bagels, 6 raisin bagels, and 6 sesame seed bagels. If the shop sells 20 bagels the next morning, predict how many of the bagels will be plain.

Accepted Solution

A:
you cant really predict how many bagels will be sold the next morning because of different scenarios but mathematically speaking if you compare plain bagels to total bagels you get 3/15 so if you multiply the denominator by 1 1/4 to get twenty as the denominator then you have to do the same to the numerator to get a fraction of 3.75/20 or roughly 3-4 plain bagels sold
