If 5/8 of the apples are red,and the rest of the apples are green,what fraction of the apples are green?
If 7/12 of the coins are pennies,and the other coins are dimes,what fraction of the coins are dimes?
8/8 - 5/8 = ?
12/12 - 7/12 = ?
To find the fraction of the apples that are green, we need to subtract the fraction of the apples that are red (5/8) from 1, because the sum of the parts represents the whole.
So, to find the fraction of the apples that are green, we can subtract 5/8 from 1:
1 - 5/8 = 8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8
Therefore, the fraction of the apples that are green is 3/8.
