Question

Mike has 1 over 2. Of a pan of brownies. He will eat 1 over 4. Of it himself, and share the rest. What fractional part of the pan of brownies will Mike eat?

Answer 1

1/8

Amount of pan of brownies that Mike has = 1/2

Amount he will eat= 1/4 of the amount he has

Amount he will eat = 1/4 of 1/2

Amount he will eat = 1/4×1/2

Amount he will eat = 1/8

Hence he will eat 1/8 of the pan of brownies
