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
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.
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
2 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 12
there r 3 lime popsicles…put that over 12
3/12
simplify…1/4
yup..u got it right
