Answer:

2/6 socks are white.

Explanation:

The denominator (6) is the amount of socks you have.

If 2/6 are blue and 2/6 are green. 4/6 are Blue & Green.

To find the remaining amount of socks you would simply subtract 6/6 by 4/6

That would leave you with 2/6 of the socks being WHITE.

Hope this helps you!! <3
