Jessie has a box of 1000 marbles 75 are yellow 230 are red 331 are blue and 364 are green what fraction of his marbles are yellow and what fraction of his marbles are red
for any color, just divide its number by the total to get the fraction desired.
To find the fraction of marbles that are yellow, we need to divide the number of yellow marbles by the total number of marbles:
Fraction of yellow marbles = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles
Given that there are 75 yellow marbles and a total of 1000 marbles:
Fraction of yellow marbles = 75 / 1000
Simplifying the fraction gives us:
Fraction of yellow marbles = 3/40
Therefore, 3/40 of Jessie's marbles are yellow.
Similarly, to find the fraction of marbles that are red:
Fraction of red marbles = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles
Given that there are 230 red marbles:
Fraction of red marbles = 230 / 1000
Simplifying the fraction gives us:
Fraction of red marbles = 23/100
Therefore, 23/100 of Jessie's marbles are red.
