Question
Vie wants to make friendship bracelets to sell. She has yellow, blue, and orange beads. She wants each bracelet to have a ratio of 3/10 blue and 1/10 yellow. What would be the remaining ratio of orange beads for each bracelet? Remember to simplify your ratio/fraction.(1 point)
$$
To find the remaining ratio of orange beads, we need to find the total number of beads for each bracelet first.
Since the ratio of blue beads is 3/10 and the ratio of yellow beads is 1/10, the total ratio of blue and yellow beads is 3/10 + 1/10 = 4/10.
To simplify the ratio, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
Dividing 4 by 2 and dividing 10 by 2, we get a simplified ratio of 2/5.
This means that for each bracelet, there are 2 parts blue and yellow beads out of a total of 5 parts.
To find the remaining ratio of orange beads, we subtract the ratio of blue and yellow beads from 1.
1 - 2/5 = 5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5.
Therefore, the remaining ratio of orange beads for each bracelet is 3/5.
