is purple. What fraction of the colors in 20 trays is
purple?




Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Fraction = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Trays = 20[/tex]

[tex]Each\ Tray = 5\ colors[/tex]

[tex]Each\ set = 1\ Purple[/tex]

Required

Fraction of purple in 20 trays

If there are 20 trays, then the total colors is:

[tex]Colors= 20 * 5[/tex]

[tex]Colors= 100[/tex]

This also means that, there are 20 purple colors in the set (i.e. 20 trays * 1 purple)

So, the fraction of purple color is:

[tex]Fraction = \frac{Purple}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{20}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
