Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(3)` proportion of candies are green.

Solution:

In bag A,
`(2)/(3)` candies are yellow.

`(2)/(3)` this proportion shows ratio of favorable over total candies.

Here numerator number is 2.

So, Total number of yellow candies should be 2x

Total number of candies in Bag A would be 3x

Number of green candies in bag A = 3x-2x = x

Now we find the portion of green candies in bag A

`\therefore,`
`(x)/(3x)`

`(1)/(3)` portion of candies are green in bag A
