In a survey about the color of cars, $\frac{1}{3}$ of the people said they preferred red cars, $\frac{1}{4}$ of the people said they preferred silver cars, and $\frac{5}{12}$ said they preferred black cars. Which color car was the most popular?
Red
Silver
Black
Cannot be determined
Explanation
Compare the fractions by finding a common denominator: $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{12}$, $\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{12}$, and $\frac{5}{12}$. Black cars are the most popular as $\frac{5}{12}$ is the largest value.
