There are 720 sheets of colored paper. 1/3 is red, 3/8 is yellow, 1/12 is blue and the rest is green. How many sheets of red, yellow, and blue part we are there each?

240 red, 270 yellow, and 60 blue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a common denominator for the given fractions (the common denominator is 24).

Then convert each fraction to a congruent fraction (1/3=8/24, 3/8=9/24, and 1/12=2/24).

Now, add the fractions together to get 19/24.

Take the original number of pieces of paper (720), divide it by the denominator of the fraction (24), then multiply it by each of the numerators. This leaves you with the answers of 240 red, 270 yellow, and 60 blue.

720 (1/3) = red=240

720 (3/8) = yellow=270

720 (1/12) = blue=60
