Answer 1

To find the fraction of the bouquet that consists of pink roses, we first need to determine how many pink roses are in the bouquet.

Angelica has a total of 12 roses, and out of these, 5 are white roses.

So, the number of pink roses is:

\[ 12 - 5 = 7 \]

Now, to find the fraction of the bouquet that contains pink roses, we take the number of pink roses and divide it by the total number of roses:

\[ \text{Fraction of pink roses} = \frac{7}{12} \]

Thus, the fraction of the bouquet that is pink roses is:

\[ \frac{7}{12} \]

The correct answer is: StartFraction 7 Over 12 EndFraction.
