Question

Nicole has a box of pencil 1/4 of the pencil is red,3/8 are yellow and the rest is green.

What fraction of the pencil is green?

Answer 1

3/8

Explanation:

Fraction of green pencils = 1 -1/4 + 3/8 =3/8

Answer 2

3/8.

i know this because if you double the denominator of 1/4 from 4 to 8 you'll also have to do that with the numerator so the 1 will turn into a 2 so you'll have 2/8 so then you add 2/8 and 3/8 and you get 5/8 but we need to know what fraction part is green so you subtract 5/8 from 8/8 and get 3/8
