The correct Answer is:
To find the share of each color of balls in the basket, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of balls and the number of balls of each color. - Total number of balls = 125 - Number of white balls = 15 - Number of brown balls = 25 - Number of green balls = 35 ### Step 2: Calculate the number of pink balls. To find the number of pink balls, we subtract the total number of white, brown, and green balls from the total number of balls. \[ \text{Number of pink balls} = \text{Total balls} - (\text{White} + \text{Brown} + \text{Green}) \] \[ \text{Number of pink balls} = 125 - (15 + 25 + 35) \] Calculating the sum of white, brown, and green balls: \[ 15 + 25 + 35 = 75 \] Now, substituting back: \[ \text{Number of pink balls} = 125 - 75 = 50 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the share of each color of balls. The share of each color is calculated by dividing the number of balls of that color by the total number of balls. 1. **Share of white balls:** \[ \text{Share of white} = \frac{\text{Number of white balls}}{\text{Total balls}} = \frac{15}{125} = \frac{3}{25} \] 2. **Share of brown balls:** \[ \text{Share of brown} = \frac{\text{Number of brown balls}}{\text{Total balls}} = \frac{25}{125} = \frac{1}{5} \] 3. **Share of green balls:** \[ \text{Share of green} = \frac{\text{Number of green balls}}{\text{Total balls}} = \frac{35}{125} = \frac{7}{25} \] 4. **Share of pink balls:** \[ \text{Share of pink} = \frac{\text{Number of pink balls}}{\text{Total balls}} = \frac{50}{125} = \frac{2}{5} \] ### Final Shares: - Share of white balls = \( \frac{3}{25} \) - Share of brown balls = \( \frac{1}{5} \) (which can also be written as \( \frac{5}{25} \)) - Share of green balls = \( \frac{7}{25} \) - Share of pink balls = \( \frac{2}{5} \) (which can also be written as \( \frac{10}{25} \)) ### Summary: The shares of the balls for each color in the basket are: - White: \( \frac{3}{25} \) - Brown: \( \frac{5}{25} \) - Green: \( \frac{7}{25} \) - Pink: \( \frac{10}{25} \)

To find the share of each color of balls in the basket, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of balls and the number of balls of each color. - Total number of balls = 125 - Number of white balls = 15 - Number of brown balls = 25 - Number of green balls = 35 ...
