of the balloons are white. The rest of the balloons are red. How many red balloons Carter has? Show your calculations in the space provided.
First, you need to find the total number of black and white balloons combined:
(4/12 + 3/12) x 60 = 7/12 x 60 = 35
So, Carter has 35 black and white balloons combined. To find the number of red balloons, we can subtract this from the total number of balloons:
60 - 35 = 25
Therefore, Carter has 25 red balloons.
To find the number of red balloons that Carter has, we need to subtract the number of black and white balloons from the total number of balloons.
The total number of balloons is given as 60.
First, let's find the number of black balloons:
We're given that 4/12 of the balloons are black, so we need to find 4/12 of the total number of balloons.
To do that, we multiply the total number of balloons by 4/12:
Black balloons = 60 * (4/12) = 20
Next, let's find the number of white balloons:
We're given that 3/12 of the balloons are white, so we need to find 3/12 of the total number of balloons.
To do that, we multiply the total number of balloons by 3/12:
White balloons = 60 * (3/12) = 15
Now, let's find the number of red balloons:
We subtract the number of black and white balloons from the total number of balloons:
Red balloons = Total balloons - Black balloons - White balloons
Red balloons = 60 - 20 - 15 = 25
Therefore, Carter has 25 red balloons.
To find the number of red balloons, we need to subtract the number of black and white balloons from the total number of balloons.
Number of black balloons = 12/60 * 60 = 12 balloons
Number of white balloons = 3/12 * 60 = 15 balloons
Total number of black and white balloons = 12 + 15 = 27 balloons
To find the number of red balloons, we subtract the total number of black and white balloons from the total number of balloons:
Number of red balloons = Total number of balloons - Number of black and white balloons
= 60 - 27
= 33
Therefore, Carter has 33 red balloons.
