Numerator/Denominator
We need to add all these fractions together but to do that we need a common denominator.
40
So multiply each of the fractions by something to equal 40.
and and
5/40, 16/40, and 12/40.
Add all these together to get
33/40
Now
We get 7/40
So 7/40ths of the surveyed chose winter.
7/40 of 200 is 35 people
Hope this helps.
