Adam used the three fractions to make a circle graph and colored each a different color. What fraction of the graph is not colored?explain your answer.Can anyone help i need to explain to my 4 grader.
I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER HELP
To determine what fraction of the graph is not colored, you need to know the fractions for each colored section of the graph. Let's say the fractions used are 1/4, 1/3, and 1/6.
First, add up the fractions used: 1/4 + 1/3 + 1/6.
To add these fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12.
Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 12:
- 1/4 becomes 3/12 because you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3.
- 1/3 becomes 4/12 because you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4.
- 1/6 becomes 2/12 because you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Now, add up the converted fractions:
3/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 = 9/12.
This means that the colored sections of the graph make up 9 out of 12 equal parts.
To find the fraction of the graph that is not colored, subtract the colored fraction from the whole:
12/12 - 9/12 = 3/12.
Therefore, 3/12 of the graph is not colored.
To further simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3:
3/12 ÷ 3/3 = 1/4.
So, 1/4 of the graph is not colored.
We do not have access to your graph nor the fractions used.
what is left and whats left is 2 because well i'll show you
1/6 =5/30
1/3 =10/30
2/5 =12/30
so you subtract 12- 10=2 5-2=3 and that's how
