There are 12 marbles in the container.. then colored half of the marbles red.in the quarter of the marble is blue.in the rest of marble us green.. what us the fraction of green
1/2 = red
1/4 = blue
? = green
Since one whole is 1, then the sum of the fractions must be equal to 1.
1/2 + 1/4 + (green) = 1
green = 1 - (1/2 + 1/4)
green = 1 - (3/4)
green = 1/4
To find the fraction of green marbles, we first need to determine how many marbles are green.
We started with 12 marbles in total. Half of them, which is 12/2 = 6 marbles, were colored red.
Now let's find the number of blue marbles. We know that a quarter of the marbles are blue, so we need to divide the total number of marbles by 4: 12/4 = 3 marbles are blue.
The remaining marbles are green. We can find this by subtracting the number of red and blue marbles from the total marbles: 12 - 6 - 3 = 3 marbles are green.
So, there are 3 green marbles out of a total of 12 marbles. Thus, the fraction of green marbles is 3/12.
