To determine the fraction of each color in the floor pattern, we need to count the number of tiles of each color and then calculate the fraction relative to the total number of tiles.
1. Counting the tiles:
- There are a total of 6 brown (B) tiles.
- There are 6 green (G) tiles.
- There are 4 yellow (Y) tiles.
- There is 1 white (W) tile.
2. Calculating the fractions:
- White (W): There is only 1 white tile out of a total of 17 tiles, so the fraction of white tiles is 1/17.
- Green (G): There are 6 green tiles out of a total of 17 tiles, so the fraction of green tiles is 6/17.
- Yellow (Y): There are 4 yellow tiles out of a total of 17 tiles, so the fraction of yellow tiles is 4/17.
- Brown (B): There are 6 brown tiles out of a total of 17 tiles, so the fraction of brown tiles is 6/17.
Therefore, the fractions for each color are as follows:
- Fraction of white (W) tiles: 1/17
- Fraction of green (G) tiles: 6/17
- Fraction of yellow (Y) tiles: 4/17
- Fraction of brown (B) tiles: 6/17
