Ok, so I'm home schooling at the moment due to the virus and my girl is ridiculously clever and doing special advanced maths classes and she's asked for help, but I'm shit at maths (brain not wired for it at all) and I can't do it.... :*(
Please can anybody help me?
The question:
There are a mixture of circles and squares in two colours, white and black.
The ratio of white to black shapes overall is 5:11
The ratio of white circles to white squares is 3:7
The ratio of black circles to black squares is 3:8
So what is the ratio of white circles to all shapes expressed as a fraction?
I'll pay you with affection and love forever if you can save me the shame. Please help? x

"There are 150 white circles and 350 white squares and 300 black circles and 800 black squares
Do 150+350 450
- - - - = ----- = 9/32
500+1100 1600"

"Don't worry lol I was/am lost, I do Vat ect for a living but trig and fractions never sunk in with me at school  "
I juggle numbers and percentages all day for a living but I know what I'm doing with them and do it my way. Really throws me when I have to learn something new....  |

Best advice if you don’t understand, get your daughter to email the teacher ~ they’re explanation will be soooo much better and then they’ll also know how she’s progressing... |

If my kids get really stuck on something I don't know, I tell them to leave it and let the teacher know they have no idea how to tackle it. They will learn better from a teacher than me. |

Yeah, that's sound advice and the teachers have actually been great, it was more for me tbh, I was like "grrr Steve you should be able to do this shit!" |
