$\large{sf{\fbox{Question:-}}}$
In a bag full of small balls, 1/4 of these balls are green, 1/8 are blue, 1/12 are yellow and the remaining 26 white. How many balls are blue?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\pink{\boxed{\green{\mathfrak{\overbrace{\underbrace{\fcolorbox{red}{aqua}{\underline{\pink{❂Radhe Radhe❂}}}}}}}}}$Hence the total number of balls are 2*24 = 48. Of the 48 balls, green are (1/4)*48 = 12, blue are (1/8)*48 = 6, yellow are (1/12)*48 = 4 and the rest, white are 26. Answer: 6 balls are blue.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline{\underline{\texttt{\pink{Answer→}}}}$

First let us find the fraction of green, blue and yellow balls :-

$\frac{1}{4}$+$\frac{1}{8}$+$\frac{1}{12}$=$\frac{6}{24}$

$\frac{6}{24}$ +$\frac{3}{24}$+$\frac{3}{24}$,common denominators = $\frac{11}{24}$, add numerators

The fraction of the white balls is given by :-

$\frac{24}{24}$ - $\frac{11}{24}$ = $\frac{13}{24}$

So, he fraction $\frac{13}{24}$ corresponds to 26 balls If x is thee total number of balls then :-

($\frac{13}{24}$) of x = 26 balls

x = 26 × ($\frac{24}{13}$) = 48, total number of balls
