OpenStudy (texaschic101):

pay attention to the order of the wording.. Tim to his brother would be 7/12 if it had said his brother to Tim, then it would have been 12/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do pay attention i got 12/7

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

tims age compared to his brother would be 7/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 7 /12 is the answer

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i has to be one of them

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

there must be a miss-print....because 2/4 is the same as 1/2....and no shape is half-shaded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

A

OpenStudy (texaschic101):
