Charlotte made a bracelet using red, gray, and white beads.
Five-ninths of the bracelet is white.
Two-ninths of the bracelet is red.
The rest is gray.
How much of Charlottes bracelet is gray?
1/9
2/9
1/3
4/9
1/3
To find the portion of the bracelet that is gray, we need to subtract the parts that are white and red from 1 (the total length of the bracelet):
5/9 (white) + 2/9 (red) = 7/9
1 - 7/9 = 2/9
So, 2/9 of the bracelet is gray.
