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
