Susie has 572 beans in the jar. One-fourth of them are red and one-third of the remaining beans are white. Then half of the remaining are green beans. How many green beans are there?
Let’s work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer.
143
Susie has 572 x 1 / 4 = 143 red beans.

There were 572 - 143 = 429 beans that are not red.

There are 429 x 1 / 3 = 143 white beans.

So, there were 429 - 143 = 286 beans left.

Therefore, 286 / 2 = 143 beans are green.

.

The final answer: 143
