Answer 1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reduced (simplify) all factions if possible
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1/4 cannot be reduced)
1/4 = 1/4

(divided by 2 for both numerator and denominator)
2/8 = 1/4

(divide by 3 for both numerator and denominator)
3/12 = 1/4

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find combined fraction of the mural that has been painted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 3/4 of the mural has been painted.
