Answer:

White: 1/4

Red: 1/3

Black if 24 counters: 5/12 or 10 counters.

Explanation:

White is 90 degrees. A circle in total has 360 degrees.


(90)/(360) = (1)/(4) so the fraction of whites in the bag is 1/4 or 0.25

Same logic with the red:


(120)/(360) = (1)/(3) The fraction is 1/3 or 0.33(3)

Now, if the white is 1/4 and the red is 1/3 then the fraction of blacks is:


1 or (12)/(12) - (1)/(3) -(1)/(4) =


(12)/(12) -(4)/(12) -(3)/(12) = (5)/(12)

If total is 24 then all we have to do is find 5/12 of 24.


(5)/(12) * 24 = 10.

And that's the answer to the third question
