Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that the statement that Tiffany would expect the spinner to land on a color section beginning with the letter "B" roughly 48 times is True.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, out of 8 sections, 4(Blue, Brown, Bronze and Black) begin with letter "B". We want to find the equivalent amount out of 98 trials. Hence, the rule of three is:

8 trials - 4 start with "B".

96 trials - n start with "B".

Applying cross multiplication:

8n = 4 x 96

n = 0.5 x 96

n = 48.

Hence, the statement is True.
