Question:
Can anyone help me been stuck for a while.
Answer:
[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step 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:
[tex]\frac{12}{27}[/tex]
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:
[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\frac{12}{27}[/tex] simplified to lowest terms is:
[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]
Therefore, your answer would be: [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]
