Question

A tile pattern uses 1/4 white tile, and the rest are colored tiles. Five colors are used equally. What fraction of the tile pattern is each color?

Answer 1

Answer: Fraction of the tile pattern is each color is given by

$\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A tile pattern uses white and rest are coloured.

Part of white tile is given by

$\frac{1}{4}$

Number of colors are used = 5

Part of color tile is given by

$1-\frac{1}{4}\\\\=\frac{4-1}{4}\\\\=\frac{3}{4}$

Since there are 5 colors , so remaining part is divided into 5 colors:

$\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{20}$

Hence, fraction of the tile pattern is each color is given by

$\frac{3}{20}$
