Question

Hi I need help just don’t need to rewrite the question on the answer tab just give me the solution and the answer

Answer 1

Given:

5)

total number of marbles =18

loses =6

a) To determine the fraction of the marbles that he loses, we divide the total number of loses by the total number of marbles:

`\begin{gathered} =(6)/(18) \\ \text{Simplify} \\ =(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

b) To determine the fraction of marbles left, we divide the number of remaining marbles by the total number of marbles:

`\begin{gathered} =(18-6)/(18) \\ \text{Simplify} \\ =(12)/(18) \\ or \\ =(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, he loses 6/18 or 1/3 of the total number of marbles while 12/18 or 2/3 left.
