Question

Jasmine has a bag of 48 peanuts. She eats 3/4 of the bag during the baseball game. How many peanuts does she have left? Explain and show how you got the answer.

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

If she eats 3/4 of the bag, that means she has 1-3/4 = 4/4 -3/4 = 1/4 of the bag left

The bag has 48 nuts. Take the number of nuts times the 1/4 she has left

48 * 1/4 = 12

She has 12 nuts left
