To find the relationship between the shaded boxes and the total number of boxes, you would need to divide the number of shaded boxes by the total number of boxes. In this case, the fraction would be 7/12, not 12/7. The numerator is 7 because there are 7 shaded boxes, and the denominator is 12 because there are 12 total boxes.
