Justin found 30 seashells. He put them in a bag and pulled out 4 pink shells out of 12 pulls. Predict the number of pink shells he will pull in 9 more pulls.

Answer 1

Hello Jenson,

Given the information provided:

4/12 is the fraction for pulling 4 pink shells out of 12 pulls. When reduced into lowest terms/simplest form, 4/12 = 1/3.

Proportionally speaking for pulling pink shells out of 9 more pulls: 3/9 = 1/3.

So, Justin will pull out a total of 3 more pink shells in 9 more pulls.
