Pls help question b

Answer 1

Answer: 44

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 of the slab are grey implies that 4/5 are yellow.

The ratio of grey to yellow is thus given as :

1/5 : 4/5

which is 1 : 4

Therefore , the ratio of grey to yellow is 1: 4

The total ratio = 1 + 4 = 5

To calculate the number of yellow , we use the formula

number of yellow = $\frac{ratio of yellow}{total ratio}$ X  total number of slabs , that is

number of yellow = $\frac{4}{5}$ X 55

number of yellow slab = 44
