Question

Helen has 24 red apples and 12 green apples.

What fraction of the apples are green?
Options:
1. 1/2 2. 1/3 3. 1/4 4. 1/12

Answer 1

Total apples = 24 + 12 = 36

Total green apples = 12

Green apples  = 12/36 = 1/3

Answer = 1/3

Answer 2

First you add the apples to find the total: 24+12=36
Then u put the amount of green apples over the total which is 12 over 36, which is 1/3, so the answer is 2!
