Sure, let's tackle each of your questions step by step. --- ## **Mathematics** ### **Problem 1:** **Question:** \( \frac{1}{12} \) of a circle is red. \( \frac{3}{12} \) of the circle is blue. **What fraction of the circle is yellow?** **Solution:** First, let's determine the total fraction of the circle that is accounted for by red and blue. - Red portion: \( \frac{1}{12} \) - Blue portion: \( \frac{3}{12} \) Add these together: \[ \frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3} \] Since the entire circle is \( \frac{12}{12} = 1 \), the remaining portion is yellow. \[ \text{Yellow portion} = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \] **Answer:** \( \frac{2}{3} \) of the circle is yellow. --- ### **Problem 2:** **Question:** Maria has R42 and she spends \( \frac{1}{3} \) of this. **How much does she have left?** **Solution:** First, calculate the amount Maria spends: \[ \frac{1}{3} \times 42 = 14 \] Subtract the spent amount from her total: \[ 42 - 14 = 28 \] **Answer:** Maria has R28 left. --- ## **English** **Instruction:** State whether each of the following is a **statement** or an **invitation**. 1. **Stop hitting your brother!** **Type:** Command/Imperative (Invitation) 2. **Tomorrow is Friday.** **Type:** Statement 3. **Oh no, I am very disappointed!** **Type:** Statement 4. **What colour are they?** **Type:** Question (Statement) 5. **What size are they?** **Type:** Question (Statement) --- ### **Explanation:** 1. **Stop hitting your brother!** - Although it might seem like a command, in the context of classifying between **statement** and **invitation**, it's more aligned with an **imperative sentence** which can be considered an **invitation** to stop an action. 2. **Tomorrow is Friday.** - This is a declarative sentence stating a fact. **Statement**. 3. **Oh no, I am very disappointed!** - Expresses an emotion or feeling. **Statement**. 4. **What colour are they?** - It's a question seeking information. While it's a query, in the binary classification of **statement** vs. **invitation**, it's best categorized as a **statement** since it's not inviting action. 5. **What size are they?** - Similar to the previous, it's a question seeking information. **Statement**. --- If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
