Question

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$ proportion of candies are green.  

Solution:  

In bag A, $\frac{2}{3}$ candies are yellow.  

$\frac{2}{3}$ this proportion shows ratio of favorable over total candies.  

Here numerator number is 2.  

So, Total number of yellow candies should be 2x

Total number of candies in Bag A would be 3x

Number of green candies in bag A = 3x-2x = x

Now we find the portion of green candies in bag A

$\therefore,$  $\frac{x}{3x}$

$\frac{1}{3}$ portion of candies are green in bag A
