evelin had 1/4 of piece of choclate leftover. she wanted to share it which n other people. if each other person got 1/12 of a piece of choclate, how many people did she share with ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 other people.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find a common denominator. Note that what you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator:

[tex]\frac{1}{4} * \frac{3}{3} = \frac{3}{12}[/tex]

Each other person implies that she will reserve a piece of chocolate for herself, so you will subtract 1:

[tex]\frac{3}{12} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{2}{12}[/tex]

She will share with 2 other people.
