Four jars of coins each contain 288 coins. The theoretical probability of randomly drawing a quarter is given in the simplified form. Find the number of quarters in each jar.
(a) 1
3
=_________ quarters per jar
(b) 1
6
=_________ quarters per jar
(c) 7
8
=________ quarters per jar
(d) 2
3
=_________ quarters per jar
+36916 1/3 means that 1 out of 3 coins is a quarter 1/3 x 288 = 96 Qs
1/6 1/6 x 288 = 48 Qs
See how that works? Can you do the others?
