How many blue counters must be added so that the ratio of yellow counters to total counters is 1 to 6?
Let the number of Yellow counters you already have is Y Let the number of non-yellow counters you already have is Z Then the current ratio of Yellow counters to the total counters is Y : Y + Z Let the number of Blue counters you add be B After they have been added, the ratio of Yellow counters to the total counters is Y : Y + Z + B This is 1 : 6 Thus Y = 1 and Y + Z + B = 6 → Z + B = 5 Which means that for the Yellow counters you have you will have five times as many counters made up of whatever non-Yellow counters you originally had plus the Blue counters you added. Thus to find out how many Blue counters to add, take the number of Yellow counters, multiply it by 5 and subtract the number of non yellow counters you originally had. examples: You had 6 Yellow counters Add 6 × 5 - 0 = 30 Blue counters Which gives you 6 Yellow and 30 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 6 : 30 + 6 = 6 : 36 = 1 : 6 You had 4 Yellow counters and 6 Red counters Add 4 × 5 - 6 = 14 Blue counters Which gives you 4 Yellow counters, 6 Red counters and 14 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 4 : 6 + 14 + 4 = 4 : 24 = 1 : 6 You had 4 Yellow Counters, 2 Blue counters and 3 Red counters Add 4 × 5 - (2 + 3) = 15 Blue counters Which gives you 4 Yellow counters, 3 Red counters and 2 + 15 = 17 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 4 : 3 + 17 + 4 = 4 : 24 = 1 : 6
How many counters are needed to make a square array with 5 counters on one side?
If you're making an outline of a square, then 16 counters. You have the 4 corner counters, each shared by 2 sides and then in between the corner counters there are 3 counters on each of the 4 sides (4*3 = 12). If you're filling the inside of the square with counters, then you have 5 rows of 5 = 25 counters.
If 12 counters are three-fourths of a set of counters how many counters would be in a full set?
(16 ÷ 4) × 3 = 12 shows that the full set was 16.
If 2 counters are one fourth then what is one whole?
If 2 counters = 1/4 whole2=1/4xx4 x48=x8 is the whole.
What is 1 third of 21 counters?
7 counters.

If there is 20 counters of a set what fraction is 16 counters?
4/5
If 20 counters are the whole set what fraction of the set is 16 counters?
16 counters is 4/5 of all 20 counters.16/20
If 2 counters are one nine then what is one whole?
if 2 counters are 1/4 then what is one whole
12 counters are arranged in 4 dishes how could you rearrange the shaded or white counters to clearly show two equivalent fractions?
move one unshaded counter to the 3rd dish that only has two circles in it. You have 12 total counters ..9 are shaded 3 are not. fractions would be 9/12 and 3/4 (9 counters are shaded out of 12 total counters) and (3 dishes out of 4 are shaded)
If 20 counters are a whole how many counters make four-fifth?
20c = 1 whole. 80c = 4 whole. 16c = 4/5 whole.
If 12 counters are three-fourths of a set of counters how many counters would be in a full set?
(16 ÷ 4) × 3 = 12 shows that the full set was 16.
What are animal cell counters called that keep track of how many times the cell has divided?
Cell counters that keep track of how many times a cell has divided are called "cell counters" or "cell counters with a built-in division counter". These instruments are often used in research labs to monitor and study cell growth and proliferation rates.
If 2 counters are one fourth then what is one whole?
If 2 counters = 1/4 whole2=1/4xx4 x48=x8 is the whole.
