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

To find the remaining ratio of orange beads, we need to subtract the ratios of blue and yellow beads from the total ratio.

The total ratio of beads is 3/10 blue : 1/10 yellow : ?/?.

Since we know the total ratio must add up to 1, the denominator remains the same.

To find the numerator for the orange beads, we subtract the numerators of the blue and yellow beads from the numerator of 1.

1 - 3/10 - 1/10 = 10/10 - 3/10 - 1/10 = 6/10 = 3/5.

So, the remaining ratio of orange beads for each bracelet is 3/5.
