Question

Oona likes only red, yellow and blue markers. 1/6 of Oona’s markers are red

and 1/4 of the markers are yellow and the rest are blue. She has eight red markers. How many blue markers does she have?

Answer 1

28

Explanation:

if 1/6 of the total markers are red and theres 8 red markers, then 6/6 must be 48 markers total.

1/4 of markers are yellow which is 12

subtract the red and yellow markers from the total to find the blue markers.

48 - 8 = 40

40 - 12 = 28

the rest are blue so the 28 markers are blue
