@vocaloid Can you help me please?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

any ideas?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Well, there's 15 tiles right?

OpenStudy (emilyisanemoji):

how many tiles are in the bag?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, and how many are yellow?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

3

OpenStudy (liv1234):

But, 3/15 isn't one of my options.

OpenStudy (emilyisanemoji):

now thats a fraction just simplify it

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

don't forget

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

you pick up 2 yellow tiles, not just 1

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

so you multiply (3/15) * (3/15)

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Ohh okay. Which would be 0.4?

OpenStudy (emilyisanemoji):

once you simplify, you should have your answer

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes, but what is that as a fraction

OpenStudy (liv1234):

2/5?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

oh no it's not 0.4, it's 0.04

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

what is 0.04 as a fraction?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

That would be 1/25

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good! so that's your answer

OpenStudy (emilyisanemoji):

;P good luck!
