Homework question?? Need some help??

15. In doing an experiment on M & M’s, it was discovered that a package of 60 contained 12 yellow M & M’s. Three HR graduate students argued over how best to mathematically relate this finding. Sally said “Yellow M & M’s made up 0.2 of the total M & M’s”. William said “The value was 20%”. Jack said “No, 80% of the M & M’s are other colors”. An instructor happened by and said “12 will go into 60 5 times”. Who is correct? Don’t go beyond these data.

You could also say that in that package one ourt of five M&M are yellow.

BTW all answers are correct for that package.

It does not ask who is wrong, it asks who is correct.

There is more than one way to describe an elephant.
