A bowl contains 240 blue and red skittles. If the probability of picking a blue is

13 , then how many red are in the bowl?

208.8

Rounding it to the nearest whole number, there are approximately 209 red skittles in the bowl.

To find out how many red skittles are in the bowl, we can start by calculating the probability of picking a red skittle.

Given that the probability of picking a blue skittle is 13, we can say that the probability of picking a red skittle is 1 - 13 (since the sum of probabilities must equal 1).

So, if we subtract 13 from 1, we get 1 - 13 = 23.

This means that the probability of picking a red skittle is 23.

Let's take this information and use it to find the number of red skittles in the bowl.

Let's assume there are x red skittles in the bowl.

We also know that the total number of skittles in the bowl is 240.

So, the probability of picking a red skittle is equal to the number of red skittles divided by the total number of skittles.

Writing this equation, we have:

x/240 = 23

To find x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

x = (23 * 240) / 1

x = 5520 / 1

x = 5520

Therefore, there are 5520 red skittles in the bowl.

13% blue means 87% red

.87 * 240 = ?
