Question

Megan has 12 star sticker. 1/2 of her stickers are yellow, 1/3 are green, and the rest are blue. What fraction of Megan’s star sticker are blue?

Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction of Megan's blue stickers are 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Megan has 12 star sticker. 1/2 of her stickers are yellow, 1/3 are green, and the rest are blue.

Now, to find the fraction of stickers which are blue.

Total number of stickers  =  12.

Number of red stickers are = $12\times \frac{1}{2}$

                                              = $6 stickers$

Number of green stickers are = $12\times \frac{1}{3}$

                                                  = $4 stickers$    

Number of blue stickers are = $12-(6+4)$

                                               = $12-10=2 stickers$

Now, to get the fraction of stickers we divide the number of blue stickers by the total number of stickers:

Fraction of blue stickers = $2\div 12$

                                         = $\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, the fraction of Megan's blue stickers are 1/6.
