Answer:

Explanation:

1 bag of crayons = 4 crayons = 100% (10/10)

1/4 bag of crayons = 1 crayon = 25% = 1 green crayon per bag

3 bags of crayons = 12 crayons (3 x 4)

if 1 bag has 1 green crayon and there are 3 bags then there are 3 green crayons

A. 3/12

Answer:

A. 3/12

Explanation:

1/4 x 3 for the three different bags and each bag having 1 crayon that's the color green it's 1/4 however due to there being 4 crayons in each bag

the only other answer could be 1/4 when simplified
