Question

On Monday John ate 1/6 of a carton of eggs. If there are 12 eggs in the carton how many eggs are left

Answer 1

the answer is 2 because if you divide 12 by 6 one sixth is equal to 2

Answer 2

12 divided by 6 is 2.

Explanation:

There are 12 eggs in the carton, right? So, split the number of eggs into 6 groups. There are 2 eggs in each of the six groups. John eats an entire group of eggs (two eggs). What is twelve minus two?

12 - 2 = 10 eggs left (left behind are 5/6 of the eggs in the carton).

Hope this helps.
