Answer:

20

Explanation:

You would set up a proportion in order to solve this

3 green           12 green

------------     =   ------------

8 total                x total

Then you would cross mulitply for x and get 32. Since that is the total number, you would have to subract the 12 from 32 to get 20.

The answer would be 20
