Question

I need help with this please ​

Answer 1

a) 2/7

There are a total of 14 pairs of socks (4+2+8) so 14 is your denominator.

Then you take however many red socks there are and that is your numerator (4).

Then you simplify. 4/14 ; 2/7

b) 1/4

There are a total of 40 headbands (10+6+24) so 40 is your denominator.

Then you take however many red headbands there are and that is your numerator (10).

Then you simplify, 10/40 ; 2/8 ; 1/4

c) 15/28

You then add 2/7 and 1/4.
