Question

There are 36 students in the class 1/6 students are wearing blue shirts and 2/3 are wearing white shirts how many are wearing a shirt that’s is not blue nor white

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer would be 1/6 kids are wearing shirts that are neither blue or white.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to make this easier, lets convert 2/3 to a same denominator fraction.

We must ask, how many times does 3 go into six?

We multiply 3 by 2 and get six. We then multiply the numerator of 2 by the same, getting 4.

Our new fraction is 4/6 which is equal to 2/3.

Then we add 4 to 1, making it 5. That is the amount of students wearing blue and white shirts, which means

1/6 of the kids in the class are wearing shirts that are neither white nor blue.
