june made a design with 6 equal tiles. 1 tile is yellow 2 tiles are blu and 3 tiles are purple. what fraction of the tile are yellow or purple?
5/6
To find the fraction of the tiles that are yellow or purple, we first need to determine the total number of tiles. June made a design with 6 equal tiles in total.
Next, we need to find the number of yellow or purple tiles, which are the desired tiles. According to the given information, 1 tile is yellow, and 3 tiles are purple. To find the total number of yellow or purple tiles, we add these two quantities: 1 + 3 = 4.
Therefore, the fraction of the tiles that are yellow or purple is 4 out of 6. This can be written as 4/6.
To simplify this fraction, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 4 and 6, which is 2. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get 2/3.
Hence, the fraction of the tiles that are yellow or purple is 2/3.
