1 1/3 is the answer

you have to subtract the numerator of the improper fraction from the denominator and the number you have left is the fraction like for 4/3 4-3=1 so the fraction is 1/3 the amount that is NOT a fraction counts as the whole depending on how many times it can go into the denominator.

All you have to do is divide the numerator ( 4 ) by the denominator ( 3 )

The answer to ...

4 ÷ 3

Would turn into your mixed number :)

Or a better way to look at it is <u>how many times can 3 go into 4 ?</u>

1 time

and how much was left over that the 3 couldn't fill ?

1

Now what you do with is put it over 3 ( the original denominator )

And you get ...

1 1/3

One and one third

A bag contains different colored candies. There are 50 candies in the bag, 28 are red, 10 are blue, 8 are green and 4 are yellow

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{54}{5405}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

How many unique combinations are possible in total?

This question takes 5 objects randomly out of a bag of 50 objects. The order in which these objects come out doesn't matter. Therefore, the number of unique choices possible will the sames as the combination

$\displaystyle \left(50\atop 5\right) = 2,118,760$ .

How many out of that 2,118,760 combinations will satisfy the request?

Number of ways to choose 2 red candies out a batch of 28:

$\displaystyle \left( 28\atop 2\right) = 378$ .

Number of ways to choose 3 green candies out of a batch of 8:

$\displaystyle \left(8\atop 3\right)=56$ .

However, choosing two red candies out of a batch of 28 red candies does not influence the number of ways of choosing three green candies out of a batch of 8 green candies. The number of ways of choosing 2 red candies and 3 green candies will be the product of the two numbers of ways of choosing

$\displaystyle \left( 28\atop 2\right) \cdot \left(8\atop 3\right) = 378\times 56 = 21,168$ .
