Question

The faction of the beads in Sara's design that are either white or blue is ?

Answer 1

3/5

Explanation:

There are a total of 15 beads in the key chain.

• The number of ,white beads ,= 4

,

• The number of ,blue beads ,= 5

The total of white and blue beads = 4 + 5 = 9

Therefore, the fraction of the beads in Sara's design that are either white or blue is:

`(9)/(15)`

Reducing the fraction to its simplest form:

`\begin{gathered} =(3*3)/(3*5) \\ =(3)/(5) \end{gathered}`

The fraction is 3/5.
