Question

PLEASE HELP ME !

Lance baked brownies for a school bake sale. The shaded figures stand for the brownies sold.

Part A What mixed number do the shaded portions stand for? Use what you know
about mixed numbers to explain why your answer is correct.

Answer 1

The mixed number would be 4 1/3, this is because of the 5 trays of brownies, 4 entire ones were sold which means only a fraction of the 5 one was sold. (4 out of 12) 4/12 could be simplified by dividing the top and bottom with 4 which leaves us with 4 1/3
