Answer:
A) [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Jing is helping the kindergarten teacher put together bags of crayons.
Each bag has 4 crayons, and 1/4 of the crayons in each bag are green.
What fraction of the crayons in 3 bags are green?
Solution:
1 bag contains number of crayons = 4
1 bag contains number of green crayons = [tex]\frac{1}{4} \ of\ 4 = \frac{1}{4}\times4=1[/tex]
Total number of bags = 3
Total number of crayons in 3 bags = 4 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 = 12
1 bag contains number of green crayons = 1
Total number of green crayons in 3 bags = 1 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 = 3
Fraction of the green crayons out of total = 3 out of 12 = [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
Therefore, fraction of the crayons in 3 bags are green are [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
