tina, troy and nate had a total of 25 equal-sized square tiles to place over a square grid. Tina used 8/25 of the square tiles. Troy used 1/5 of the square tiles. what fraction of the square grid must Nate place the tiles on so that 1/5 of the square grid is not covered.
8/25 + 1/5 + x = 4/5
X = 4/5 - 8/25 - 1/5=20/25 - 8/25 - 5/25
= 20/25 - 13/25 = 7/25 of the grid for
Nate.
Well, it seems like Tina and Troy have already had their fun with the tiles. Now it's Nate's turn to join in!
Let's see, Tina used 8/25 of the tiles and Troy used 1/5 of the tiles.
This means that the portion of the square grid left for Nate is (1 - 8/25 - 1/5).
To make it more "fractionalicious," we need to find the common denominator for 25 and 5, which is 25.
So, the remaining portion for Nate is (25/25 - 8/25 - 5/25).
That simplifies to (12/25).
Therefore, Nate must place the tiles on 12/25 of the square grid so that 1/5 of the square grid is not covered.
Have a blast, Nate! Don't clown around too much!
To find out the fraction of the square grid that Nate must use so that 1/5 of the square grid is not covered, we need to subtract the fractions used by Tina and Troy from 1.
Let's calculate it step by step:
Step 1: Find out the fraction used by Tina.
Tina used 8/25 of the square tiles.
Step 2: Find out the fraction used by Troy.
Troy used 1/5 of the square tiles, which is equivalent to 5/25.
Step 3: Calculate the remaining fraction of the square grid that is not covered.
To find this, subtract the fractions used by Tina (8/25) and Troy (5/25) from 1.
1 - (8/25 + 5/25)
Step 4: Simplify the fraction, if possible.
1 - (13/25)
= 12/25
Therefore, Nate must place the tiles on a fraction of the square grid equal to 12/25 so that 1/5 of the square grid is not covered.
To find out what fraction of the square grid Nate must place the tiles on, let's start by finding out how many tiles each person used.
Tina used 8/25 of the square tiles, so we can represent this as a fraction: 8/25.
Troy used 1/5 of the square tiles, so we can represent this as a fraction: 1/5.
Now, let's find the total number of tiles used by Tina and Troy together:
Total used tiles = Tina's tiles + Troy's tiles
Total used tiles = 8/25 + 1/5
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 25 and 5 is 25, so we can convert 1/5 to have a denominator of 25:
1/5 = 5/25
Now, let's add the fractions:
Total used tiles = 8/25 + 5/25
Total used tiles = 13/25
So, Tina and Troy used a total of 13/25 of the square tiles.
To find out what fraction of the square grid Nate must place the tiles on so that 1/5 of the square grid is not covered, we need to subtract this from 1. Since 1 represents the whole grid, 1 - 1/5 gives us the remaining fraction that Nate must place the tiles on.
1 - 1/5 = 5/5 - 1/5 = 4/5
Therefore, Nate must place the tiles on 4/5 of the square grid so that 1/5 of the square grid is not covered.
