jessica has 24 shirts .1/6 are red.1/3 are yellow.4/12 are green. the rest are blue.how many are blue
1/6 + 1/3 + 4/12 =
2/12 + 4/12 + 4/12 = 10/12 = 5/6
6/6 - 5/6 = 1/6
1/6 * 24 = ?
Another way to do it.
4=red
8=yellow
8=green
rest=blue
4+8+8=20, 24-20=4
To find the number of blue shirts, we need to subtract the sum of the number of red, yellow, and green shirts from the total number of shirts.
First, let's calculate the number of red shirts:
Number of red shirts = (1/6) * 24 = 4
Next, let's calculate the number of yellow shirts:
Number of yellow shirts = (1/3) * 24 = 8
Now, let's calculate the number of green shirts:
Number of green shirts = (4/12) * 24 = 8
To find the number of blue shirts, we subtract the sum of the red, yellow, and green shirts from the total number of shirts:
Number of blue shirts = Total number of shirts - (Number of red shirts + Number of yellow shirts + Number of green shirts)
= 24 - (4 + 8 + 8)
= 24 - 20
= 4
Therefore, Jessica has 4 blue shirts.
