Answer 1

first choice in the image.

numerator: 12

denominator: 30

Explanation:

"Name the numerator and denominator of the fraction that represents the number of trucks that he has loaded out of the total needing to be loaded"

so numerator = "number of trucks that he has loaded"

and denominator = "total needing to be loaded"

Joaquin was asked to load 30 trucks today. So his/her total would be 30.

thus the denominator is 30.

Joaquin has finished loading 12 already, which means he/she has loaded 12. so, the numerator is 12.
