Answer:

The Answer is 20 cake pops are covered with green sprinkles.

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you have 1/2 choclate, 1/3 strawberry, and the rest are green, you first need to convert the Chocolate and the Strawberry into the same fraction. As shown:

Chocolate: 1/2=3/6

Strawberry:1/3=2/6

The rest are Green sprinkles.

So, your equation would be:

Chocolate sprinkles + Strawberry Sprinkles + Green Sprinkles = Total

And their are 5/6 of Chocolate and Strawberry Sprinkles...

That would mean 100 Chocolate and Strawberry Sprinkles!

Because 1/6 of 120 is 20 and multiply that by five and you have 100...

Now that we have that, and we know the rest are green...

we just do 120-100=20

So their you go!

Sorry its long but hope it helps! <3
