Answer:
The number of tiles that could be in the model is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Gavin is building a model of a kitchen . In the model, 2/5 of the floor tiles are white , 1/2 of the floor tiles are yellow and 1/10 of the floor tiles are brown. The number of model of the floor tiles can be computed as follows:
The fraction represented is just like the fraction of the type(color) of floor type over the number of floor tiles. The highest denominator of the fractions is 10( 1/10). The other fraction can be represented also with a denominator of 10.
2/5 can be represented as 4/10 which is 4 tiles
1/2 can be represented as 5/10 which is 5 tiles
1/10 is 1/10 since it has the highest denominator, it will represent the number of tiles that could be in the model. The brown tile is 1 tile.
The number of tiles that could be in the model is 10
