Color this square so that one-half is green,one-third is yellow and and the rest is brown.Each triangle should be just one color.Make any pattern you like. How much
of the square is brown?
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
6/6 - 5/6 = 1/6
To determine the amount of the square that should be brown, we need to calculate the portion of the square that is not green or yellow.
First, let's find out how much of the square is green. Since one-half of the square is green, we can divide the square into two equal parts horizontally, and color one of them green.
Next, let's determine how much of the square is yellow. Since one-third of the square is yellow, we can divide the square into three equal parts vertically, and color one of them yellow.
Now, we need to calculate the portion of the square that is not green or yellow. Since two out of the three parts have already been colored, we are left with one part. This remaining part should be colored brown.
Therefore, one part or one-third of the square is brown.
