Answers
Answer:
2/5+1/5+1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Violet =2 blocks
orange=1 block
green=1 block
Given:
A diagram of coloured boxes.
To find:
Choose the equation represented by the following diagram the entire diagram represents 1 as whole
Solution:
From given, we have,
A diagram of coloured boxes.
From the diagram, it's clear that, out of the 5 boxes,
2 boxes are coloured violet, hence the fraction representation of this is 2/5
1 box is coloured pink, hence the fraction representation of this is 1/5
1 box is coloured blue, hence the fraction representation of this is 1/5
The last box, that is white coloured has a fraction of 1/5 and can be calculated as follows:
As given the entire box equals 1. So, we have,
Let 'x' be the fraction representation for the box white
2/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + x = 1
4/5 + x = 1
x = 1 - 4/5
x = 1/5
The required equation is, 2/5x + 1/5x + 1/5x.
