Mrs. Bailey is knitting a striped blanket for her granddaughter. She made 14
of the blanket pink, 38
of the blanket green, and the rest of the blanket was white. Which fraction represents the white part of the blanket?
To find the fraction that represents the white part of the blanket, we need to know the total number of parts the blanket is divided into. From the information given, we know that Mrs. Bailey made 14 parts of the blanket pink and 38 parts green. Therefore, the total number of parts is 14 + 38 = 52.
Since the white part of the blanket is the remaining part after the pink and green parts have been made, we subtract these parts from the total number of parts: 52 - 14 - 38 = 52 - 52 = 0.
Therefore, the fraction that represents the white part of the blanket is 0/52, which simplifies to 0/1 or simply 0.
Before it started to rain, Bobby cut 18
of the grass in his yard and Danny cut 15
of the grass in the yard. Both boys were disappointed because they were not able to cut the entire yard.
To find out how much of the grass was left uncut, we need to subtract the total amount of grass cut by both Bobby and Danny from the total amount of grass in the yard.
If Bobby cut 18 parts of the grass and Danny cut 15 parts, the total amount of grass cut is 18 + 15 = 33 parts.
Let's assume the total amount of grass in the yard was 100 parts.
The amount of grass left uncut is 100 - 33 = 67 parts.
Therefore, 67/100 represents the fraction of grass that was left uncut in the yard.
To find the fraction that represents the white part of the blanket, we first need to know the total number of parts in the blanket.
From the given information, we know that Mrs. Bailey made 14 parts of the blanket pink and 38 parts green. To get the total number of parts, we need to add these together.
Total number of parts = pink parts + green parts
Total number of parts = 14 + 38
Total number of parts = 52
Now, to find the fraction representing the white part, we subtract the total number of parts she made from the total number of parts in the blanket.
White parts = Total number of parts - (pink parts + green parts)
White parts = 52 - (14 + 38)
White parts = 52 - 52
White parts = 0
Since the white part represents zero parts of the blanket, the fraction representing the white part is 0/52 or simply 0.
