Answer 1

you can say that 12/16 of the bagels were plain

Answer 2

Answer:
`(12)/(16)`

Explanation:

Given: Ben works in his dads bakery packing bagels.

Let x be the number of bagels in each package.

Each package can have no more than 16 bagels.

Then
`x\leq16`

3/4 of the bagels in each package are plain.

`\\\Righarrow\ (3)/(4)x\leq(3)/(4)*16\\\Rightarrow\  (3)/(4)x\leq12`

Thus, each package can have no more than 12 plain bagels.

So the other fractions could represent the part of the bagels in each package that will be plain will be

`(12)/(16)`
