17 of 1717 of 17 Items 56:45 Question A bag contains the following prize tickets: • 6 tickets labeled “8-ounce bottle of SLIME” • 2 tickets labeled “4 RINGTONES” • 8 tickets labeled “32-ounce SLUSHIE” • 4 tickets labeled “16-ounce ICE CREAM SUNDAE”. Each of the 190 7th grade students who passed the Math benchmark test will draw a prize ticket from the bag. The prize will be recorded for that student, then the ticket will be returned to the bag. What is a reasonable prediction for the number of times a slushie or an ice cream sundae prize ticket will be drawn? Responses A 7676 B 3838 C 104104 D 114114 Skip to navigation
To find a reasonable prediction for the number of times a slushie or an ice cream sundae prize ticket will be drawn, we need to add the number of slushie tickets and the number of ice cream sundae tickets.
There are 8 slushie tickets and 4 ice cream sundae tickets, so a total of 8 + 4 = 12 tickets.
Since each of the 190 students will draw a ticket, we can predict that the slushie or ice cream sundae ticket will be drawn approximately 190 / 12 = 15.83 times.
Since we can't have a fraction of a ticket, a reasonable prediction would be 16 times.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 16.
