Answer 1

You take all the numbers you can draw and add them up. In this case that is 6. Then you take the numbers you want to draw (In this case vowels) which is 3. You put 6 on the bottom of the fraction and 3 on top. That leaves you with 3/6. Once simplified or put into decimal form you get 0.5.

Answer 2

A board game uses a bag of 105 lettered tiles. You randomly choose a tile and then return it to the bag. The table shows the number of vowels and the number of consonants after 50 draws.

A tally chart. The first column is vowel. It has 3 groups of 5 tally marks and 3 more tally marks in it. The second column is consonant. It has 6 groups of 5 tally marks and 2 more tally marks in it.
