Question

Larry cuts 1/12 of a loaf of bread for lunch each day for 4 days. What fraction of bread has he cut after 4 days?

Answer 1

He has cut 1/3 of the bread

1/12 x 4 days equals 4/12. Simplifying that gets you 1/3 (4 divided by 4 = 1, 12 divided by 4 = 3)

Answer 2

Wouldn’t it just be 4/12 ?
