If we have 12 jelly beans and there is 8 grape jelly beans and 4 other jelly beans that arent 8 you add the numbers and get a denominator of 12 then you add the number of jellybeans you are focusing on which equals 4/12 then we simplify 4/12 into 2/6 then 1/3 and then we have 1/3! Hope this helps have a great day!
