In art class, Kerion is coloring a pattern where half of the squares on her paper are being colored blue. Of the blue squares, 1/3 of them will also have stripes. What fraction of squares will be blue with stripes?

Answer:

If half of the squares on Kerion's paper are blue, that means there are 1/2 blue squares.

Out of the blue squares, 1/3 of them will have stripes.

So the fraction of squares that will be blue with stripes is 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6.

Another way to think about it is that for every six squares on the paper, one of them will be blue with stripes.
