Answer:

10% of the beads are blue

Explanation:

Well, let's add 5 and 45 to get the total amount of beads.

5 + 45 = 50 total beads.

Now, since 50 is the 100%, let's find how much percentage of the beads are blue.

50 divided by 5 = 10%

10% of the beads are blue

Answer:

10 percentage of the beads on Rachel's necklace are blue

Explanation:

Given the following:

we were told that Rachel has a new beaded necklace.

The necklace has
5 blue beads

It also has
45 white beads.



we are to find the percentage of beads on Rachel's necklace that are blue.

first we find the total beads.

Total beads =
5+45=50

recall blue beads =
5

Therefore, the percentage of blue beads is: ?

the number of blue beads divide by the total number of beads multiply by 100

Percentage of blue beads =
(5)/(50) ~x~100


=0.1~x~100 which equals 10%

Therefore the percentage of the beads on Rachel's necklace that are blue is 10%.
