Question

On the checkerboard, 4/10 of the pieces left are red. What fraction of the pieces left are black? Write the equation.​

Answer 1

The fraction of black pieces left is
`(6)/(10)`

Explanation:

Given as :

On the checkerboard , The fraction of red pieces left =
`(4)/(10)`

Let The fraction of black pieces left = x

So, The fraction of black pieces left = x = 1 -
`(4)/(10)`

Or, x =
`(10-4)/(10)`

Or, x =
`(6)/(10)`

Hence The fraction of black pieces left is
`(6)/(10)` Answer
