June made a design with 6 equal tiles. one tile is yellow 2 tiles are blue and 3 tiles are purple. what fraction of the tiles are yellow or purple?

The fraction of each tile color can be found by dividing the number of tiles for each tile by the total number of tiles, then simplifying the fraction if possible.

For this problem we have:
total number of tiles = 6
number of yellow tiles = 1
number of blue tiles = 2
number of purple tiles = 3

Based on the above:
fraction of yellow tiles = 1/6
fraction of blue tiles = 2/6 = 1/3
fraction of purple tiles = 3/6 = 1/2
