Ann had 48 fliers to post around town. Last week, she posted 1/3 of them. This week, she posted 1/4 of the remaining fliers. How many fliers has she still not posted?

Explanation:

Ann posted 1/3 of the fliers last week, which means she posted:

1/3 x 48 = 16 fliers

This means that she has 48 - 16 = 32 fliers left to post.

This week, Ann posted 1/4 of the remaining fliers, which means she posted:

1/4 x 32 = 8 fliers

So she has 32 - 8 = 24 fliers still to post. Therefore, Ann has still not posted 24 fliers.
