Answer:

The fraction of Megan's blue stickers are 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Megan has 12 star sticker. 1/2 of her stickers are yellow, 1/3 are green, and the rest are blue.

Now, to find the fraction of stickers which are blue.

Total number of stickers  =  12.

Number of red stickers are = [tex]12\times \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

                                              = [tex]6 stickers[/tex]

Number of green stickers are = [tex]12\times \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

                                                  = [tex]4 stickers[/tex]    

Number of blue stickers are = [tex]12-(6+4)[/tex]

                                               = [tex]12-10=2 stickers[/tex]

Now, to get the fraction of stickers we divide the number of blue stickers by the total number of stickers:

Fraction of blue stickers = [tex]2\div 12[/tex]

                                         = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Therefore, the fraction of Megan's blue stickers are 1/6.
