1 answer

To determine the fraction of the parts that is white, we first need to find the total number of parts in the diagram.

The diagram has:

  • 4 blue parts
  • 3 white parts

So the total number of parts is: 4 (blue) + 3 (white) = 7 parts

Next, we find the fraction that represents the white parts. There are 3 white parts out of a total of 7 parts.

Thus, the fraction of the parts that is white is: \[ \frac{3 \text{ (white parts)}}{7 \text{ (total parts)}} = \frac{3}{7} \]

Therefore, the answer is Three-sevenths.
