Answer:

The girl had 24 candies in her bag.

Explanation:

Since, regarding the girl's candies, 4 of them were blue, 1/6 of them were grape, 1/4 of them were watermelon, 1/3 of them were cherry and 1/12 of them were sour apple, to determine how many candies were in her bag, the following mathematical calculation should be performed:

1/6 + 1/4 + 1/3 + 1/12 = X

2/12 + 3/12 + 4/12 + 1/12 = X

10/12 = X

12/12 - 10/12 = 2/12

2/12 = 4

1/12 = 2

2 x 12 = 24

Thus, the girl had 24 candies in her bag.
