Noor has 24 blockst .3 are red,7 are blue and the rest are white.what fraction of her blocks is white.write the fraction in simplest form
10 are red or blue, leaving 14 white
14/24 = 7/12
To find the fraction of white blocks, we need to subtract the number of red and blue blocks from the total number of blocks.
Total number of blocks = 24
Number of red blocks = 3
Number of blue blocks = 7
Therefore, the number of white blocks can be found by subtracting the number of red and blue blocks from the total:
Number of white blocks = Total number of blocks - Number of red blocks - Number of blue blocks
Number of white blocks = 24 - 3 - 7
Number of white blocks = 14
So, the fraction of white blocks is 14/24, which can be simplified to 7/12 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 2.
Therefore, the simplest form of the fraction representing the number of white blocks is 7/12.
To find the fraction of Noor's blocks that are white, we need to determine the number of white blocks she has.
Given that Noor has a total of 24 blocks, and 3 of them are red and 7 are blue, we can subtract the number of red and blue blocks from the total to find the number of white blocks.
Number of white blocks = Total blocks - Number of red blocks - Number of blue blocks
= 24 - 3 - 7
= 14
Therefore, Noor has 14 white blocks out of a total of 24 blocks.
To express this fraction in simplest form, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 2 in this case. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCD gives us:
White blocks = 14 ÷ 2 = 7
Total blocks = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
So, the fraction of Noor's blocks that are white, in simplest form, is 7/12.
