Answer: 44
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 of the slab are grey implies that 4/5 are yellow.
The ratio of grey to yellow is thus given as :
1/5 : 4/5
which is 1 : 4
Therefore , the ratio of grey to yellow is 1: 4
The total ratio = 1 + 4 = 5
To calculate the number of yellow , we use the formula
number of yellow = [tex]\frac{ratio of yellow}{total ratio}[/tex] X total number of slabs , that is
number of yellow = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] X 55
number of yellow slab = 44
