Answer:

Amir: 2/3

Whitney: 1/4

Explanation:

We can let w represent the fraction Whitney eats. Then the fraction Amir eats is (w+5/12). The total amount they eat is found by ...

w + (w +5/12) + 1/12 = 1

2w = 1/2 . . . . . subtract 6/12

w = 1/4 . . . . fraction Whitney eats

w+5/12 = 3/12 +5/12 = 8/12 = 2/3 . . . . fraction Amir eats
