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

Question

blue and 1/10
yellow. What would be the remaining ratio of orange beads for each bracelet? Remember to simplify your ratio/fraction.(1 point)

Answer 1

Vie has chosen a total ratio where blue beads account for \( \frac{3}{10} \) and yellow beads account for \( \frac{1}{10} \). Together, these two ratios add up to:

\[ \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{4}{10} \]

To find the remaining proportion of orange beads, we need to calculate the remaining part of the total ratio, which is 1 (or \( \frac{10}{10} \)):

\[ 1 - \frac{4}{10} = \frac{10}{10} - \frac{4}{10} = \frac{6}{10} \]

Now we simplify \( \frac{6}{10} \):

\[ \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \]

Thus, the ratio of orange beads for each bracelet is \( \frac{3}{5} \).

Therefore, the ratio of orange beads is:

\[ \frac{3}{5} \]
