Question

Megan has 12 star sticker. 1/2 of her stickers are yellow, 1/3 are green, and the rest are blue. What fraction of Megan’s star sticker are blue?

Answer 1

The fraction of Megan's blue stickers are 1/6.

Explanation:

Given:

Megan has 12 star sticker. 1/2 of her stickers are yellow, 1/3 are green, and the rest are blue.

Now, to find the fraction of stickers which are blue.

Total number of stickers = 12.

Number of red stickers are =
`12* (1)/(2)`

=
`6 stickers`

Number of green stickers are =
`12* (1)/(3)`

=
`4 stickers`

Number of blue stickers are =
`12-(6+4)`

=
`12-10=2 stickers`

Now, to get the fraction of stickers we divide the number of blue stickers by the total number of stickers:

Fraction of blue stickers =
`2/ 12`

=
`(1)/(6)`

Therefore, the fraction of Megan's blue stickers are 1/6.
