Answer:

The fractions like
((8)/(2)), ((16)/(4)), ((44)/(11) ) could represent the part of the beads that are red.

Explanation:

The given question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Miranda is braiding her hair. Then she will attach beads to the braid, she wants 1/3 of the beads to be red. If the greatest number of beads that will fit on the braid is 12, what other fractions could represent the part of the beads that are red?

Now, total number of beads to be fit on the braid = 12

The desirable amount of red beads = 1/3

So, now as the number of red beads Miranda can use

= 1/3 ( Total beads used)

=
(1)/(3)  * 12 = 4

or, out of total 12 beads, 4 beads are red.

⇒The total number of red beads = 4

Hence, the fractions like
((8)/(2)), ((16)/(4)), ((44)/(11) ) could represent the part of the beads that are red.
