Question

Vie wants to make friendship bracelets to sell. She has yellow, blue, and orange beads. She wants each bracelet to have a ratio of 3/10 blue and 1/10 yellow. What would be the remaining ratio of orange beads for each bracelet? Remember to simplify your ratio/fraction

Answer 1

Blue = 3/10, Yellow = 1/10.
Remaining for Orange = 1 − (3/10 + 1/10) = 1 − 4/10 = 6/10 = 3/5.

So the orange beads make up 3/5 (60%) of each bracelet.
