12. A bag contains a total of
100 black and white marbles.
Without looking a marble is
chosen, recorded, and placed
back in the bag. The student
records 8 black marbles and 2
white marbles. Predict the
number of black marbles in
the bag.

Answer:

The answer would be 80 black marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student chose 10 marbles. 8 of those were black. There are 100 marbles total. Going at this rate, picking 10 at a time, 10x10 is 100. So we would do this 10 times. 8x10 is 80. 2x10 is 20. There are 80 black marbles.
