Question

Miranda is braiding her hair then she will attach beads to the braids 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 fraction could represent the part of the beads that are red?

Answer 1

2/6 because if I multiply the denominator and numerator by 2 it would equal 2/6.

Answer 2

Answer:
`(4)/(12)\ and\ (2)/(6)`

Explanation:

Given: Miranda wants
`(1)/(3)` of the beads to be red .

If the greatest number of beads that will fit on the braid is 12 , then the greatest number of red beads that will fit on the braid =
`(1)/(3)*12=4`

The fraction of red beads =
`\frac{\text{number of red beads}}{\text{maximum number of beads}}`

⇒ The fraction of red beads =
`(4)/(12)`

If we divide 2 from numerator and denominator it will look like

`(2)/(6)`
