Answered by Hazel
well, there are 24 balloons total to choose from...and 2 of those balloons are yellow. So....
2/24
If necessary, reduce the the fraction to its simplest form.
I'll let YOU try to do that part on your own :-)

Steps:
Find the numbber of all balloons total

Find the number of balloons being chosen

# of chosen balloons/ # balloons total
Answer:
2/24 is reduced to 1/12

Answered by Ms. Sue
I don't know how Hazel got 24 balloons. I see only 12.

2/12 = 1/6

it also said, what fraction of her balloons was not yellow?

10 were not yellow ---> 10/12 = 5/6
