Mrs. Dern's class is preparing to write reports on the United States. Students must draw from a box the state that they will be assigned to. When it is Jake's turn to draw, there are three western states, one southern state, five midwestern states, and some eastern states remaining in the box. If the probability of drawing an eastern state is 1/2, how many eastern states are in the box?​

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the states provided which is 9 since it said 1/2 chance answer is 9

1) slope= 5/4

Y-intercept = -4

2)  slope=  5/2

Y-intercept = -2

3)  slope= -2/9

Y-intercept = 2

4)  slope= 1/4

Y-intercept = -4

5)  slope= 1/2

Y-intercept = -1

6)  slope= 6/5

Y-intercept = -2

7)  slope= -7/5

Y-intercept = -3

8)  slope= 3/2

Y-intercept = 3

9)  slope= 3/2

Y-intercept = 3

10)  slope= 7/4

Y-intercept = -3
