1. Annie's brother, John, made a birthday sign for her. Since Annie was celebrating her 12th birthday, he drew 12 balloons. He colored 8 balloons with blue and the rest green. What fraction of the balloons were colored blue? What fraction of the balloons were colored green?(Draw a picture) 2. Gelo's allowance every day is P300.00. Every day, he saves a portion of his allowance. On Monday, he saves 5/6 of his money, Tuesday he keeps 4/6, on Wednesday he set aside 3/6 and so on. How much did he save on Thursday and Friday? (Pattern Recognition)( answer it seriously ) tysm
Answer (1)
1.) Annie's BirthdayThe fraction that were blue is 2/3It says that there's 12 balloons and 8 are blue. Therefore, the fraction is 8/12To simplify the fraction simply divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF (Greatest Common Factor).[tex]\frac{8}{12} =\frac{8\div4}{12\div4} =\frac{2}{3}[/tex]The fraction that were green is 1/3It says that there's 12 balloons and 8 are blue. The rest is green.12-8= 4Therefore, the fraction is 4/12Simplify the fraction[tex]\frac{4}{12} =\frac{4\div4}{12\div4} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]2.) Gelo's AllowanceIf Gelo's allowance kept decreasing at the rate of 1/6 per day, on Thursday, he saved P100. On Friday on the other hand, he saved P50.To find how much he saved on Thursday, we'll just subtract 1/6 from what he saved on Wednesday. Then we find the value of that to 300Wed=3/6[tex]\frac{3}{6} -\frac{1}{6} =\frac{3-1}{6} =\frac{2}{6}[/tex]=2/6Then we find 2/6 of 300. We can solve it by dividing it by 6 and multiplying it by 2.[tex]300\div6[/tex]=5050 x 2 = 100Therefore he saved P100 on ThursdayTo find how much he saved on Friday, we'll just subtract 1/6 from what he saved on Thursday. Then we find the value of that to 300Thursday=2/6[tex]\frac{2}{6} -\frac{1}{6} =\frac{2-1}{6} =\frac{1}{6}[/tex]=1/6Then we find 1/6 of 300. We can solve it by dividing it by 6 and multiplying it by 1.[tex]300\div6[/tex]=5050 x 1 = P50Therefore he saved P50 on ThursdayYou can base on the photo below to draw a picture
