Question

Ben works in his dads bakery packing bagels. Each package can have no more than 16 bagels.3/4 of the bagels in each package is plain. What other fractions could represent the part of the bagels in each package that will be plain?

Answer 1

`(12)/(24)`

Explanation:

We have been given that Ben works in his dads bakery packing bagels. Each package can have no more than 16 bagels. 3/4 of the bagels in each package is plain.

As 3/4 of bagels in each package is plain, so let us find 3/4 of 16 bagels.

`\text{Number of plain bagels in a package of 16}=(3)/(4)* 16`

`\text{Number of plain bagels in a package of 16}=3* 4`

`\text{Number of plain bagels in a package of 16}=12`

So 12 bagels out of 16 bagels are plain. We can represent the other fraction that represents the same part of the bagels in each package that will be plain as:

`(12)/(24)`

Therefore,
`(12)/(24)` is equivalent fraction that represents the same part of the bagels in each package that will be plain.
