Let's say the total shares \(= 30\)
Shares with Ms. Green \(= 20\)
If she sells \(\frac{3}{4}\) of her shares, the remaining shares \(= \frac{1}{4} * 20 = 5\)
Fraction of shares \(= \frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{6}\)
Answer C
Shares with Ms. Green \(= 20\)
If she sells \(\frac{3}{4}\) of her shares, the remaining shares \(= \frac{1}{4} * 20 = 5\)
Fraction of shares \(= \frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{6}\)
