Anna makes a quilt by sewing together green, white, and yellow fabric. When she finishes, 2/6 of the quilt is green, and 3/6 is yellow. The rest is white. What fraction of the quilt is white? Show your work.

Respuesta :

Answer:fraction of the quilt is white = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total quilt be  = 1 ( since we are dealing with fraction)

The portion of quilt that is green  2/6

The portion of quilt that is yellow  3/6

The portion that is white   = Total quilt  −( portion of quilt that is green and yellow)

=1−( 2/6 +  3/6 )

=1  −5/6

=1/6
