Add up all the types of balloons. 5 + 10 + 14 + 6

OpenStudy (dottiecat):

35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is our denominator. (the bottom of the fraction) now add up how many green and orange balloons there are.. 10 + 6

OpenStudy (dottiecat):

B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup! 16/35, and since we cannot reduce it that is the answer.
