Answer:

The answer here would be 1/6.

Explanation:

If Amelia originally has 12 marbles (12/12), then gives away 2, she then has 10 marbles (10/12). This means she gave away 2 of the 12 marbles she has (2/12). This fraction can then be reduced to 1/6 by dividing the denominator and numerator by 2.
