Answer:
10 percentage of the beads on Rachel's necklace are blue
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following:
we were told that Rachel has a new beaded necklace.
The necklace has [tex]5[/tex] blue beads
It also has [tex]45[/tex] white beads.
we are to find the percentage of beads on Rachel's necklace that are blue.
first we find the total beads.
Total beads = [tex]5+45=50[/tex]
recall blue beads = [tex]5[/tex]
Therefore, the percentage of blue beads is: ?
the number of blue beads divide by the total number of beads multiply by 100
Percentage of blue beads = [tex]\frac{5}{50} ~x~100[/tex]
[tex]=0.1~x~100[/tex] which equals 10%
Therefore the percentage of the beads on Rachel's necklace that are blue is 10%.
