There are 4,200 butterflies. 800 are orange, 200, purple, 400 are yellow and the rest are blue. What fraction of the butterflies are blue ?

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add all the colors. Then you subtract that number from 4200 to get the total number of blue buterfiles. After that, you put the total number of blue butterflies in the numerator and the 4200 would go in the denominator. Then you reduce until u get the final fraction.  

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

it would be 6xy and -16xy.
