Answer: 50% are blue.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of skittles in the packet will be represented by 100%. If 27% are red and 23% are green then the combination of the red and green skittles subtracted from 100 will give the percentage of the blue skittles.
27% + 23% = 50%
100% - 50% = 50%
This means half of the skittles in the packet are blue which is 50%.

Just multiply the Numerator and denominator of the fraction by required number so as to get the common denominator.
for example, In this case , the common denominator is 12.
the first fraction is converted as shown, 5/3=5*4/3*4=20/12
similarly, you can convert others.
Once you have common denominator, just compare numerators.
300 acres. because <span>multiply 60 by 5.</span>
The scale factor would be 3.5
