Answer 1

The brother ate 1/6th of the 72 grams of ice cream, which equals 12 grams. (Option B).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many grams of ice cream the brother ate, you need to calculate 1/6 of 72 grams. Here is the step-by-step calculation:

1. Divide the total amount of ice cream by 6 because the brother ate 1/6th of it. So, 72 ÷ 6 = 12.
2. The brother ate 12 grams of ice cream.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 12 grams.
