Given:
Drawing a vowel from letter tiles that spell out MATHEMATICS.
Chances = [tex]\dfrac{?}{?}[/tex]
To find:
The correct values for the blanks.
Solution:
Vowels are a, e, i, o, u.
In MATHEMATICS, the vowels are A, E, A, I.
Number of vowels = 4
We know that,
[tex]Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of selected vowels}}{\text{Total number of vowels}}[/tex]
[tex]Probability=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
So, the chance of drawing a vowel from letter tiles that spell out MATHEMATICS is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex].
Blank 1: 1
Blank 2: 4
Therefore, the value for blank 1 is 1 and the value for blank 2 is 4.
