Tory has 4 blue jelly beans, 6 red jelly beans, 5 yellow jelly beans, and 1 green jelly bean in his bag. What fraction of the jelly beans are A)Blue B)Yellow C)Red D)Green
There are 16 jelly beans in the bag.
4/16 = 1/4 blue
6/16 = 3/8 red
Take it from there.
To find the fraction of each color of jelly beans, you need to divide the number of jelly beans of each color by the total number of jelly beans.
A) Blue jelly beans:
To find the fraction of blue jelly beans, divide the number of blue jelly beans by the total number of jelly beans.
Blue jelly beans: 4
Total jelly beans: 4 + 6 + 5 + 1 = 16
Fraction of blue jelly beans: 4/16
B) Yellow jelly beans:
To find the fraction of yellow jelly beans, divide the number of yellow jelly beans by the total number of jelly beans.
Yellow jelly beans: 5
Total jelly beans: 4 + 6 + 5 + 1 = 16
Fraction of yellow jelly beans: 5/16
C) Red jelly beans:
To find the fraction of red jelly beans, divide the number of red jelly beans by the total number of jelly beans.
Red jelly beans: 6
Total jelly beans: 4 + 6 + 5 + 1 = 16
Fraction of red jelly beans: 6/16
D) Green jelly beans:
To find the fraction of green jelly beans, divide the number of green jelly beans by the total number of jelly beans.
Green jelly beans: 1
Total jelly beans: 4 + 6 + 5 + 1 = 16
Fraction of green jelly beans: 1/16
So, the fractions of each color of jelly beans are:
A) Blue: 4/16
B) Yellow: 5/16
C) Red: 6/16
D) Green: 1/16
