A glass vase factory recently produced 3 vases that were chipped and 15 vases that were not. Considering this data, how many of the next 66 vases would you expect to be chipped?

5 vases

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 vases were chipped and 15 were not, that means that 3 in 3+15=45 vases are chipped. So, we can set up a proportion:

3/45 simplifies to 1/15 by the way

1/15 = x/66

x is the number of vases expected to be chipped

1/15 = x/66

Cross multiply

15x=66

x=66/15

x=22/5

x=4 2/5

Since you can't have part of a vase, 5 vases will be expected to chip.
