Question

I'm dumb.

1. Rachel made a birthday cake for her friend Luke. If Luke eats 1/3 of the cake and Rachel eats 1/4 of the cake, how much cake do they have left?
2. Matt's baseball team played 44 games this season. If they lost 1/4 of them, how many games did they win?

Answer 1

`1. (1)/(3)+(1)/(4)=(4)/(12)+(3)/(12)=(7)/(12)`, assuming they mean pre eat values.

2.
`44*(1-(1)/(4))=44*(3)/(4)=11*3=33`
