A grocery store recently sold 6 cartons of vanilla yogurt and 12 other cartons of yogurt . Based on past data, how many of the next 48 cartons of yogurt sold should you expect to be vanilla?
The store sold 18 cartons of yogurt…6 (1/3) were vanilla, 12 (2/3) were other flavors. If the store sells 48 more cartons of yogurt, you would expect 1/3 of them to be vanilla…1/3 x 48 = 16 cartons vanilla.
