Question

Adam used the three fractions 3/12, 1/6, and 1/3 to make a circle graph and colored each a different color. What fraction of the graph is not colored? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

3/12, or 1/4. This is because 1/6=2/12, and 1/3=4/12. 2/12+4/12+3/12=9/12, 12/12-9/12=3/12, and 3/12 simplified is 1/4. Hope that helped!
