Q: Ms. Kane has 3 blue lolly-pops and 4 red ones in a jar. If she takes out a red one and gives it to a student, and then buys a new bag of lollies and puts one more of each color in the jar...

a) What will she most likely pick out for a student?

b) What is there more of?

c) How many reds and how many blues are there?

Please help; I don't understand it.

What colors are available in the bag? Only the red and blue, or others?

Thank you.

Hello, kanes class!

Ms. Kane has 3 blue lolly-pops and 4 red ones in a jar.
If she takes out a red one and gives it to a student,
and then buys a new bag of lollies and puts one more of each color in the jar...

a) What will she most likely pick out for a student?

b) What is there more of?

c) How many reds and how many blues are there?

Please help; I don't understand it.

Sorry, but what is there to "understand"?


There are 3 Blues and 4 Reds.
Ms. Kane gives away a Red.
There are now 3 Blue and 3 Reds.

Then she adds one more of each color.
There are now 4 Blues and 4 Reds.

a) If she's picking a lolly-pop at random,
\(\displaystyle \;\;\)it's a toss-up . . . you think?

b) Um ... there are four of each?

c) Again . . . there are four of each?
\(\displaystyle \;\;\)(Mind you, I did this without my calculator . . . )
