Mrs. Taylor is crocheting a blanket for her daughter. She made 3/8 of the blanket green, 1/4 of the blanket blue, and the rest of the blanket was yellow. Which fraction represents the yellow part of the blanket
To find the fraction that represents the yellow part of the blanket, we need to subtract the fractions of the blanket that are green and blue from 1.
The fraction for the green part of the blanket is 3/8.
The fraction for the blue part of the blanket is 1/4.
Therefore, the fraction for the yellow part of the blanket is:
1 - 3/8 - 1/4 = 8/8 - 3/8 - 2/8 = (8 - 3 - 2) / 8 = 3/8
So, the fraction that represents the yellow part of the blanket is 3/8.
To find the fraction that represents the yellow part of the blanket, we need to subtract the fractions of the green and blue parts from 1.
The fraction of the green part is 3/8.
The fraction of the blue part is 1/4.
To find the fraction of the yellow part, we subtract the fractions of the green and blue parts from 1:
1 - 3/8 - 1/4
We need to find a common denominator for 8 and 4, which is 8.
(8/8) - (3/8) - (2/8)
We can now subtract:
(8 - 3 - 2)/8
(3)/8
Therefore, the fraction that represents the yellow part of the blanket is 3/8.
