students are painting a mural so far the mural is painted 1/4 blue ,2/8 red and 3/12 green use fraction strips to determine how much of the mural has been painted tell the fraction you use to solve
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reduced (simplify) all factions if possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1/4 cannot be reduced) 1/4 = 1/4
(divided by 2 for both numerator and denominator) 2/8 = 1/4
(divide by 3 for both numerator and denominator) 3/12 = 1/4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find combined fraction of the mural that has been painted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Answer: 3/4 of the mural has been painted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
