well what do you think?

Answer 6

Well, he drew 20 times.

Answer 7

I guess we could set up a proportion..

Answer 8

\(\sf\dfrac{6}{20}=\dfrac{x}{50}\)

Because on 20 tries we got 6 blue beads and we'll find out how much we get with 50 blue beads(which is how many we have.

Answer 9

Multiply 50 to both sides:

\(\sf x = \dfrac{6\times50}{20}\)

Simplify
