Question

In a beaded necklace 3/12, of the beads

Answer 1

Answer: 7/12 of the beads are blue and green

Step-by-step explanation: To make both denominators of fraction 3/12 and 1/3 equal, you have to change both denominators to the lowest common denominator. Since the LCD (lowest common denominator) is 12 you have to multiply 1/3 by 4 to make the two denominators match.

1/3 x 4/4= 4/12

Then to find the total fraction of both green and blue beads on the necklace, you simply have to add the two fractions together.

4/12+3/12= 7/12

hope this helps :)
