Question

ucheoma made two trays of brownies. she cut one tray into 16 pieces and the other tray into 12 pieces. she took 4 pieces out of both trays. did she take out an equal amount of brownies from both trays

Answer 1

no she did not. She took more brownies out of the second pan.

Explanation:

from the first pan she only cut it into 16 pieces then took 4 pieces out, therefore it would be 4/16. From the second pan she cut them into 12 pieces, then took 4 pieces out, which is 4/12. which would mean the first pan she took away 1/4 of the brownies and out of the second pan she took out 1/3 of the brownies.
