1. A pan of brownies was left out on the counter and 1/4 of the brownies had already been eaten. Then John came along and ate 2/3 of the brownies that were left. How much of the whole pan of brownies did John eat?
2. You have 6 donuts and you want to give 2/3 of them to a friend and keep 1/3 for yourself. How many donuts would your friend get?
A pan of brownie was left out on the counter and 1/4 of the brownie was already eaten = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
Then John came along and and ate 2/3 of the brownie .
: Of the hole pan brownie John ate = 3/4 × 2/3
= 1/2
Ans : 1/2
2) you have 6 donuts and you want to give 2/3 of them to a friend . You want to keep 1/3 for yourself = 6 × 1/3 = 2
: Your friend will get = 6 × 2/3 = 4
Ans : 4
1-1/4=4-1/4=3/4×23=1/2
Sure correct enough
1. To find out how much of the whole pan of brownies John ate, we need to calculate it step by step.
First, let's determine the fraction of the original brownies left after 1/4 were eaten. To do this, we subtract 1/4 from 1.
1 - 1/4 = 3/4
So, 3/4 of the original brownies are left after 1/4 were eaten.
Next, we need to calculate how much John ate, which is 2/3 of the remaining brownies. To do this, we multiply 3/4 by 2/3.
(3/4) * (2/3) = 6/12 = 1/2
Therefore, John ate 1/2 of the whole pan of brownies.
2. To determine how many donuts your friend would get, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total number of donuts.
To do this, we multiply the total number of donuts (6) by 2/3.
6 * 2/3 = 12/3 = 4
So, your friend would get 4 donuts.
just multiply them
1. (1-1/4) * 2/3 = ?
2. 6 * 2/3 = ?
