Charlotte made a bracelet using red, gray, and white beads.

Five-ninths of the bracelet is white.

The rest of the bracelet has an equal amount of red and gray.

How much of Charlotte's bracelet is gray?

Answer :

Two-ninths of the bracelet is gray. Since five-ninths of the bracelet is white, four-ninths of the bracelet is red and gray. The word problem says that there is an equal amount of red and gray, so you divide four in half. Two-ninths of the bracelet is gray, two-ninths of it is red, and five-months of it is white.
