Answer:

rounds up to about 67%

Explanation:

3 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 12 = total = 100%

12 - 4 (the black hats) = 8

without the black hats = 8/12

8 ?

_ = _

12 100

12 x 8.333333333333333 = 100

8 x 8.333333333333333 = 66.6666(continued)

Hope this helps!

Answer:8/12

Explanation:

There are 12 possible hats you can choose from so that's the denominator

8 of those hats are not black so that's the numerator
