Did you know?
Did you know that fractions are a way of representing parts of a whole? In this case, we can use fractions to find out how many of Jessie's marbles are yellow and red.
To find the fraction of his marbles that are yellow, we divide the number of yellow marbles (75) by the total number of marbles (1000). So the fraction is 75/1000, which can be simplified to 3/40.
Similarly, to find the fraction of his marbles that are red, we divide the number of red marbles (230) by the total number of marbles (1000). So the fraction is 230/1000, which can be simplified to 23/100.
Fractions are a useful way to represent parts of a whole, and understanding them can help us solve many different types of problems.
