To get the fraction of blue squares with stripes we shall proceed as follows;
fraction of blue squares=1/2
1/3 of the blue squares have stripes, therefore we shall have:
fraction of blue square with stripes
=1/3 of 1/2
=1/3×1/2
=1/6
Hence we conclude that the fraction of blue squares with stripes was 1/6 of the total colored squares.
