Respuesta :

Answer:

Blue part = [tex]\dfrac{6}{17}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total number of jelly beans = 17

Red beans = 2

Blue beans = 6

White beans = 4

Green beans = 5

We need to find what part of the jelly beans is blue.

[tex]F_b=\dfrac{\text{Blue beans}}{\text{Total beans}}\\\\F_b=\dfrac{6}{17}[/tex]

Hence, the required part of the jelly beans that is blue is [tex]\dfrac{6}{17}[/tex].
