You're very close. If all this is true, then Rose is 37.5 percent Chinese.1 parent is half Chinese and the other parent is 1/4 chinese
Apparently she's Lithuanian but she talks like every Puerto Rican girl that went to my high school.
1 parent is half Chinese and the other parent is 1/4 chinese
Obviously 1/3 guy was joking. But for real.
To find the ethnicity of a person for a particular race, divide by half for each parent and add.
Ex:
Dad is full mexican. Mom is full Irish.
% mexican of a son/daughter = 1/2 mex [dad] + 0/2 mex [mom] = 1/2 mex.
% irish of son/daughter = 0/2 irish [dad] + 1/2 irish [mom] = 1/2 irish.
Son/daughter of the above parents would be 1/2 mexican and 1/2 irish (check: 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 aka full).
Therefore you can be full, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, etc of a particular race. Saying this another way, you have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents, etc.
1/3 is impossible. And for all purposes 1/16 = 0.

Pretty sure you only have to be 1/16 for certain Native tribes.
edit (read wrong):
(1/2) / 2 + (1/4) / 2 = 1/4 + 1/8 = 2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8 = 3/8
3/8 Chinese. Of her 8 great-great grandparents, 3 used chopsticks to eat.
Lol, was wondering if you'd catch your mistake. Some other guy even wrote it out above you.
Maybe time for another addy.

One-third is possible. For example, if Rose's mom is 42.67 percent Chinese and her dad is 12.50 percent Chinese, Rose would be 33.33 percent Chinese.Obviously 1/3 guy was joking. But for real.

Any percentage is possible.
