3 lime popsicles in a box of 12.

Denominator of the fraction is the total number of popsicles. Numerator is the number of lime, so:

3/12 are lime, simplified is 1/4

A 1/4. you add up all the popsicles except the lime=9 . You then divide the 9 by 3 =3 That means that we have 4 sets of 3 the lime then is 1 out of 4.

1/4. The 2 cherry and the 4 orange threw me off. But if you break it down mathematically, 12/4=3. Since you have four flavors and three of the Popsicles are lime, then a quarter of the box would lime flavored. (Sorry, I was trying to show the logic for the problem. My apologies if it makes no sense.)

The answer is in fact correct! It is A)1/4

There are a dozen (12) popsicles in a box.

3 of the are lime.

It’s literally 3 divided by 12 which gives you 4.

Now all I did was put the top of the fraction as 1.

3/12 which is equal to 1/4

There are 3 lime popsicles, and there are twelve total. You put the number preferred over the total, so you get 3/12, which simplifies to 1/4

Drill a hollow in it and fill it finished of lead. be careful no to pass over the load cut back and get disqualified. The heavier the motor vehicle the speedier it is going to likely be. be careful with the axles. the load of the lead could be no longer basic on the axles if no longer using a sturdy axle yet using a 2 piece axle. Use a slender tire. Use a annoying tire to cut back friction. of direction be aerodynamic with it. save an eye fixed on the guy putting the motor vehicle all the way down to commence the race. If he places too lots rigidity on the axles he can injury them. i could have gained if that butt lots would not have broken my motor vehicle. It exchange into the final race and it exchange into merely me and yet another motor vehicle for the championship and that a-ho tore my experience up. My motor vehicle exchange into quickest. ====== i spotted the guidelines suggested “No unfastened cloth of any variety, which incorporate lead shot, may be used”. What we did exchange into soften the lead and pour it interior the drilled hollow. except the guidelines had replaced then melting and pouring lead into it must be ok because of the fact it is not “unfastened” cloth … it is going to become molded cloth.
