Question

Me groves has trays of paint for her students. Each tray has 5 colors. One of the colors is purple. What fraction of the colors in 20 trays is purple

Answer 1

Purple = 1/5 of the colors

5 colors per tray, 20 trays = 5 * 20 = 100 colors

1/5 * 100 = 100/5 = 20

20 colors are purple

20/100 = 1/5

1/5
