Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
the total amount of pencils in the box are [tex]\frac{8}{8}[/tex]
number of pencils that are blue are [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
number of pencils that are green are [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
number of pencils that are red is (x)
therefore an equation can be formed:
total number of pencils = blue pencils + red pencils + green pencils
8/8 = 1/8 + x + 5/8
make x the subject of formula
x = 8/8 - 5/8 - 1/8
x = 2/8
simplified becomes x = 1/4
