Question

Vanessa picked 12 strawberries. She divided the strawberries and gave 1/3 to her brother. She kept the rest for herself. How many strawberries did she give her brother.

Answer 1

Answer: 4 strawberries

Explanation:

First, we can change the total number of strawberries into a fraction, that way it makes the division process easier. 12 is really equivalent to 12/1 since it is a whole number. Now, we can set up an equation: (12/1) * (1/3) will solve to give us the number of strawberries the brother has. Since there is a one in both the numerator and the denominator, they will cancel, leaving us with (12/3). This is now just division, which gives us 4. Therefore, the brother will receive 4 strawberries. Hope this helps!
