Respuesta :

Answer:b, c, a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of the flowers are red

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the flowers are white

to get the white flowers, add the two fraction and subtract them from 1

fraction of white flowers

Part- B

Fraction of flower red or Pink

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{8}+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{17}{24}[/tex]

Part-C

fraction of flowers that are white

[tex]\Rightarrow 1-\dfrac{3}{8}-\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 1-\dfrac{9+8}{24}\\\\\Rightarrow 1-\dfrac{17}{24}=\dfrac{7}{24}[/tex]
