Question

A tile pattern uses 1/4 white tile, and the rest are colored tiles. Five colors are used equally. What fraction of the tile pattern is each color?

Answer 1

Answer: Fraction of the tile pattern is each color is given by

`(3)/(20)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

A tile pattern uses white and rest are coloured.

Part of white tile is given by

`(1)/(4)`

Number of colors are used = 5

Part of color tile is given by

`1-(1)/(4)\\\\=(4-1)/(4)\\\\=(3)/(4)`

Since there are 5 colors , so remaining part is divided into 5 colors:

`(3)/(4)* (1)/(5)=(3)/(20)`

Hence, fraction of the tile pattern is each color is given by

`(3)/(20)`
