Why do gumballs have spikes?

Updated: 11/13/2022

What's the point of those spiked balls that fall off of Sweetgum trees? Is it to prevent animals from eating them? Do they serve some purpose before they fall and just look like spikes to people? What are they for?

The spikes on these gumballs serve a purpose. They allow the seeds to carried away by animals! The seeds stick to the animals fur and they can be carried far and wide, when they fall off they can create new sweetgum trees.

How do you do probabilities?

Example of probability is if you have 10 blue gumballs 5 pink gumballs and 3 orange gumballs the answer is 10 because the more gumballs you have is the one you will pick without looking if you still dont understand please comment below,thanks for all questions:)


A gumball machine contains Orange gumballs W blue gumballs and W green gumballs.What is the probability that the next gumball comes out will be orange?

The probability is X/(X + 2W) where X is the number of orange gumballs.


A gumball machine contains 51 blue gumballs 128 green gumballs and 93 red gumballs. What percentage of the gumballs that are blue?

First find the total number of gumballs. 51+128+93=272 Next, determine what fraction of the total represents the blue gumballs. 51/272=.1875 The fraction tells us what part of one gumball is represented by the color blue. However we were asked for a percentage (per=how many, cent=100 or how many for each 100). So we should multiply the fraction by 100. The answer then is .1875 multiplied by 100, or 18.75%. That means that if we only had 100 gumballs, 18.75 of those 100 would be blue.
