Kristi had 12 jellybeans. one third of the jellybeans were red, and one sixth were green. what part of jelly beans were either red or green? this problem is about the fraction of a number. fist draw 12 jellybeans. color one third of them red and one sixth of them green. write and solve the problem.

1/2 of the jelly beans were either red or green.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 12 jellybeans, 1/3 were red, and 1/6 were green; this means the number of red jellybeans were

and the number of green jellybeans were

.

This means that we have 4+2=6 jellybeans that are either red or green. Now this 6 is

fraction of the total jelly beans.

Therefore 1/2 of the jellybeans were either red or green.

The appropriate number of red and green jellybeans are colored in the figure attached.

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
