Justin and jamal are playing a game with fraction tiles. When the bell rings for recess, the boys count their tiles. Justin started with 15 tiles. He lost 6 to Jamal. What fraction of his tiles does Justin have left?

He has 9 tiles.

9/15 = 3/5

Thanks

You're welcome.

To find out what fraction of his tiles Justin has left, we need to calculate the fraction of tiles he has remaining out of the total number of tiles he started with.

Step 1: Calculate the number of tiles Justin has left.
Since Justin started with 15 tiles and lost 6, we need to subtract 6 from 15 to find out how many he has left.
15 - 6 = 9

Step 2: Determine the fraction of tiles Justin has left.
To calculate this, we take the number of tiles Justin has left (9) and divide it by the total number of tiles he started with (15).
Fraction = Tiles left / Total tiles
Fraction = 9 / 15

Step 3: Simplify the fraction, if possible.
In this case, the fraction cannot be simplified further, so the answer is:
9 / 15

Thus, the fraction of tiles Justin has left is 9/15.
