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 :)

Hannah buys 2/3 pound of roast beef. She uses 1/4 pound to make sandwiches for lunch. How much roast beef does she have left?

First we need to make both fractions equal to each other, and that means having to have the denominators the same.

What both 3 and 12 easily go into is 12.

So we need to make both fractions have a denominator of 12, so we multiply.

2/3 * 4/4 = 8 / 12

1/4 * 3/3 = 3 / 12

Now, we know that she has 8 / 12 pounds, and she uses 3 / 12 of it, so now we subtract to find how much she has left.

8 - 3 = 5

Out of the 12 pounds of roast beef, she now has 5 / 12 left.
