In art class, Kerion is coloring a pattern where half of the squares on her paper are being colored blue. Of the blue squares, 1/3 of them will also have stripes. What fraction of squares will be blue with strips?

To get the fraction of blue squares with stripes we shall proceed as follows;

fraction of blue squares=1/2

1/3 of the blue squares have stripes, therefore we shall have:

fraction of blue square with stripes

=1/3 of 1/2

=1/3*1/2

=1/6

Hence we conclude that the fraction of blue squares with stripes was 1/6 of the total colored squares.
