Calculating the Fraction of Green Pencils

To calculate the fraction of green pencils Yogesh has, we need to first determine the total number of pencils Yogesh has, which is 15 in this case. Next, we need to find out how many of those pencils are green, which are 6.

Finding the Fraction

Now that we know Yogesh has 15 pencils in total and 6 of them are green, we can express the fraction of green pencils as a ratio of the number of green pencils to the total number of pencils.

- Number of green pencils = 6
- Total number of pencils = 15

Expressing as a Fraction

To express this as a fraction, we write the number of green pencils (6) as the numerator and the total number of pencils (15) as the denominator. This gives us the fraction 6/15.

Simplifying the Fraction

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3 in this case.

- 6 ÷ 3 = 2
- 15 ÷ 3 = 5

So, the simplified fraction of green pencils Yogesh has is 2/5. This means that 2 out of every 5 pencils Yogesh has are green.
