6. If there are 15 white M&M’s and 25 red M&M’s in a small bag, how many white M&M’s can you
   expect there to be in a bag that has a total of 240 Red and White M&M’s?

To determine the expected number of white M&M’s in a bag containing a total of 240 M&M’s, we first calculate the proportion of white M&M’s in the original bag. In the original bag, there are 15 white M&M’s out of a total of 15 + 25 = 40 M&M’s. This gives us a proportion of white M&M’s as 15/40 or 0.375.

Now, to find the expected number of white M&M’s in a bag of 240, we multiply the total number of M&M’s by the proportion of white M&M’s: 240 * 0.375, which equals 90. Therefore, you can expect there to be approximately 90 white M&M’s in the larger bag.

It’s a delicious math problem that gives you an idea of chocolatey proportions!
