Sam, Raj and Jade have 12 sweets each. One quarter of Sam's sweets are blue. How many blue sweets does he have?

Answer 1

sam has 3 blue sweets

Explanation:

`(1)/(4) of 12 = 3`

if sam has 12 sweets and one quarter are blue then we need to work out one quarter of the twelve sweets. you need to do
`(1)/(4) of 12` which is 3 and
`(1)/(4) of 12` is the same as
`(1)/(4) times 12`

(one person has 12 sweets)

Sam has 12 sweets

one quarter of Sam sweet is blue

1/4 = one quarter

1/4 * 12 = 3

Sam has 3 blue sweets.
