Answer: [tex]\frac{4}{12}\ and\ \frac{2}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Miranda wants [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the beads to be red .
If the greatest number of beads that will fit on the braid is 12 , then the greatest number of red beads that will fit on the braid = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times12=4[/tex]
The fraction of red beads =[tex]\frac{\text{number of red beads}}{\text{maximum number of beads}}[/tex]
⇒ The fraction of red beads =[tex]\frac{4}{12}[/tex]
If we divide 2 from numerator and denominator it will look like
[tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]
