$$10\div20 = 1/2$$
10 -> bags of pretzels
20 -> total of bags

anonymous · Answer

well you have to add all the components up which would  give you 20. then you have to take the amount of pretzels (10) and put 10 over the total number of things. then simplify which would come down to 1/2. so  you have a 50% chance of pulling out aa bag of pretzeels!
