If Sandy has 288 tiles and wants one-half of the tiles divided evenly into three different colors (green, yellow, burgundy). How many green tiles does she need?

Respuesta :

Divide 288 by 2
You get 144

Next, Sandy needs 3 equal piles, so divide 144 by 3
You get 48.

There needs to be 48 of each color, including green

Have an awesome day! :)

To divide 1/2 of a value by 3 is the same thing as taking 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 of that value.

In this case, 1/6 of 288 tiles - or 288 ÷ 6 - gives us a result of 48 green tiles.
