really helpful...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yikes count the number of yellow or orange, divide by the total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh you do not know how many there are of each, only that there are equal amounts of each

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no matter, there are 5 colors, and 2 are what you want, so it is \(\frac{2}{5}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It needs a numeric value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean like \(\frac{2}{5}=.4\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What the heck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't do it like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am sorry i do not know what is happening
