Problema Solution

Rusty arranged ornaments by color. One fourth of the ornaments were green, 3/8 of the ornaments were yellow and 24 were red. How many ornaments did Rusty arrange?

Answer provided by our tutors

let total arrangemt is X

orange =1/4

yellow =3/8

ratio of red = 24/X

then 1-(4+3/8) =24/X

       1-5/8 =24/X

     8-5/8 =24/X

    3/8 =24/x

  x =8*8

    = 64
