Robots at the Galactic Workshop had 24 widgets to build. 1/4 of the widgets were green 1/2 of the remaining widgets were blue. The rest of the widgets were yellow. How many yellow widgets were built?
6 because half of 24 is 12 and it is the quarter remaining.
Your Answer - 6
i don't think 6 is the correct answer.
24 to build.
1/4 are green so 1/4 x 24 = 6 green.
REMAINING to build is 24 - 6 = 18
1/2 of the REMAINING is 1/2 x 18 = 9 will be blue
blue + green = 9 + 6 = 15
widgets to be yellow = 24- 15 = 9
ya because it says HALF THE REMAINING. sorry that's my fault for not reading the problem throughly. hopefully you didn't say 6.
To find the number of yellow widgets that were built at the Galactic Workshop, let's break down the problem step by step.
1. Start with the total number of widgets: 24.
2. Calculate the number of green widgets: 1/4 of 24 = 24 * 1/4 = 6 green widgets.
3. Calculate the remaining widgets after removing the green ones: 24 - 6 = 18 widgets.
4. Calculate the number of blue widgets: 1/2 of the remaining 18 widgets = 18 * 1/2 = 9 blue widgets.
5. To find the number of yellow widgets, subtract the sum of green and blue widgets from the total number of widgets: 24 - 6 - 9 = 9 yellow widgets.
Therefore, there were 9 yellow widgets built at the Galactic Workshop.
