Question

On the grid to the right:

a. Shade 1/6 red, 25% blue, and the rest of the grid yellow.
b. What part of the grid is shaded yellow?
A. 1/2, 0.5, 50%
B. 1/3, 0.33, 33%
C. 5/6, 0.83, 83%
D. 1/4, 0.25, 25%

Answer 1

The shaded part of the grid that is yellow can be found by subtracting the red and blue shaded parts from the whole grid. The yellow shaded part of the grid is 2/3 or 66.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded part of the grid that is yellow can be found by subtracting the red and blue shaded parts from the whole grid. The red shaded part represents 1/6 of the grid, and the blue shaded part represents 25% of the grid. To find the yellow shaded part, we need to subtract the combined area of the red and blue shaded parts from the whole grid, which is 1 - 1/6 - 0.25. Simplifying this expression, we get 6/6 - 1/6 - 1/4, which is equal to 4/6 or 2/3. Therefore, the yellow shaded part of the grid is 2/3 or 66.67%.
