To find the fraction of toffees that are left, we need to determine the number of toffees left in the bag after Kate and Josh have eaten some.
Let's start with the initial number of toffees, which is 12. Kate eats 3 toffees, leaving us with 12 - 3 = 9 toffees. Then, Josh eats 4 toffees, leaving us with 9 - 4 = 5 toffees.
Therefore, there are 5 toffees left in the bag. To express this as a fraction, we compare the number of toffees left to the total number of toffees.
Total number of toffees = 12
Number of toffees left = 5
The fraction of toffees left is 5/12.
