Answer 2

Answer: a)
`(1)/(3)` b)
`(71)/(100)` c)
`(5)/(9)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

There are green and yellow candies in each bag.

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Part of yellow candies in bag A =
`(2)/(3)`

Part of green candies in bag A would be

`1-(2)/(3)\\\\=(3-2)/(3)\\\\=(1)/(3)`

Bag B: 29 % of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Percentage of candies are yellow = 29%

Portion of candies are green is given by

`1-(29)/(100)\\\\=1-0.29\\\\=0.71\\\\=(71)/(100)`

Bag C: 4 out of every 9 candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Portion of yellow candies =
`(4)/(9)`

Portion of green candies would be

`1-(4)/(9)\\\\=(9-4)/(9)\\\\=(5)/(9)`

Hence, a)
`(1)/(3)` b)
`(71)/(100)` c)
`(5)/(9)`
