you decide to dye your hair in various colors. If you die 1/3 of it blue , 1/4 pink and 1/4 of it black how much of your original hair is left?
<g>
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
4/12 + 3/12 + 3/12 = 10/12 = 5/6
6/6 - 5/6 = 1/6 will be the natural color
Well, if I dye 1/3 of my hair blue, 1/4 pink, and 1/4 black, then that totals 11/12 of my hair. So, there's only 1/12 of my original hair left untouched. I like to call it the "untamed hair territory" where my natural color reigns supreme!
To determine how much of your original hair is left after dyeing a portion of it blue, pink, and black, we will need to subtract the combined fractions of hair that were dyed from the total.
1/3 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 + 3/12 = 10/12
Now, we can subtract this fraction from 1 (which represents the whole):
1 - 10/12 = 12/12 - 10/12 = 2/12
Therefore, after dyeing 1/3 of your hair blue, 1/4 pink, and 1/4 black, 2/12 (or 1/6) of your original hair is left.
To find out how much of your original hair is left after dyeing a fraction of it, we need to calculate the fraction that remains undyed.
First, let's find the fraction that is dyed.
You dyed 1/3 of your hair blue, 1/4 pink, and 1/4 black. To find the total fraction of dyed hair, add these fractions together:
1/3 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 + 3/12 = 10/12
So, 10/12 of your hair is dyed.
To find the fraction that is left undyed, we need to subtract the dyed fraction from 1 (since 1 represents the whole or 100% of your hair):
1 - 10/12 = 12/12 - 10/12 = 2/12
So, 2/12 of your hair, which simplifies to 1/6, is left undyed or in its original color.
Therefore, 1/6 of your original hair is left after dyeing.
