I have 30 apples in a bowl . 12 are good. What fraction is good?

what is 12/30 ? reduce it.

12/30 = 2/5

To find the fraction of apples that are good, you need to divide the number of good apples by the total number of apples. In this case, you have 12 good apples out of a total of 30 apples.

To express this as a fraction, you can write it as 12/30. However, this fraction is not in its simplest form.

To simplify the fraction, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. In this example, the GCD of 12 and 30 is 6.

Dividing both the numerator (12) and the denominator (30) by 6, you get:

12 ÷ 6 = 2
30 ÷ 6 = 5

So, the simplified fraction is 2/5.

Therefore, 2/5 (or 2 out of 5) of the apples in the bowl are good.
