Answer 1

You can say that 12/16 of the bagels were plain

Answer 2

Answer: $\frac{12}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Ben works in his dads bakery packing bagels.

Let x be the number of bagels in each package.

Each package can have no more than 16 bagels.

Then $x\leq16$

3/4 of the bagels in each package are plain.

$\\\Righarrow\ \frac{3}{4}x\leq\frac{3}{4}\times16\\\Rightarrow\ \frac{3}{4}x\leq12$

Thus, each package can have no more than 12 plain bagels.

So the other fractions could represent the part of the bagels in each package that will be plain will be

$\frac{12}{16}$
