Answer 1

7/12

Explanation:

If there are 12 in total then it is the denominator. They are looking for the pink rose so if there is 5 white roses u subtract 12 by 5

Hope this explains it well

Answer 2

b) 7 over 12 or (7/12)

Explanation:

The number of white roses = 5

Therefore,

The number of pink roses= 12-5

= 7

So the fraction will be

Pink roses/ total roses

= 7/12
