There are only red beans and green beans in a bag the ratio of the number of red beans to the number of green beans is 5; 9 what fraction of the beans are red

Let the red beans be 5x and green beans be 9x
Then,
 total beans = 5x + 9x =14x
∴ The fraction of beans that are red = No. of red beans / Total beans
                                                      = 5x/14x
                                                      = 5/14
