Question:

Can anyone help me been stuck for a while.

Answer:


(4)/(9)

Explanation:

The bag has 15 white marbles,

and 12 blue marbles.

Add the totals together, and you would get:

27.

turn that into a fraction:


(12)/(27)

then simplify:

Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator

GCD of 12 and 27 is 3

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD

12 ÷ 3

27 ÷ 3

Reduced fraction:


(4)/(9)

Therefore,
(12)/(27) simplified to lowest terms is:


(4)/(9)

Therefore, your answer would be:
(4)/(9)

Answer:
