Question

Hillary is making a blanket for her mom. Three fourths of the blanket is green and the rest is yellow. Two thirds of the yellow part has her name on it. What fraction of the blanket will, have her name on it?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hillary is making a blanket for her mom.

Let the total blanket = 1

Three-fourths of the blanket is green and the rest is yellow.

The fraction for the rest(yellow portion) = 1 - 3/4

The Lowest Common Denominator is 4

Hence,

4 - 3 /4 = 1/4

Two-thirds of the yellow part has her name on it.

The fraction of the blanket that will have her name on it is calculated as

2/3 of 1 /4

= 2/3 × 1/4

= 1/6
