What fraction of the whole are the blue piece, the orange piece, the red piece, and the purple piece. How do you know?

blue piece is 1/2 because it takes up half of the square, the purple is only 1/4 because it would take 4 purple to fill the big square and the orange is half of the purple so it takes double of pieces so 8 pieces which is 1/8

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
