Answer:

[tex]Fraction = \frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Blue = 4[/tex]

[tex]White = 6[/tex]

Required

Determine the fraction that are not white

First, we need to determine the total

[tex]Total = Blue + White[/tex]

[tex]Total = 4 + 6[/tex]

[tex]Total = 10[/tex]

Not white, in this case means blue.

So, the fraction is calculated as thus:

[tex]Fraction = \frac{Not\ White}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{Blue}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{4}{10}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]Fraction = \frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Hence the fraction that are not white is

[tex]Fraction = \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
