To find out how much of Charlotte's bracelet is gray, we first need to determine the total fraction of the bracelet represented by white and red beads combined.
According to the information given, five-ninths of the bracelet is white and two-ninths is red. To find the combined fraction, we add these two fractions together:
5/9 + 2/9 = 7/9
So, seven-ninths of the bracelet is either white or red.
To find out how much of the bracelet is gray, we subtract the combined fraction of white and red from the whole bracelet. The whole bracelet is represented by one, so:
1 - 7/9 = 2/9
Therefore, two-ninths of Charlotte's bracelet is gray.
