Question

two-thirds of a whole came remained. On Thursday for desert Frances ate 1/4 of the remaining cake. How much of the entire cake did Frances eat for desert on Thursday?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Since we have 2/3 of the cake, and they ate 1/4 of the 2/3 we had, they ate} \\ (2)/(3)\cdot(1)/(4)=(2)/(3\cdot4)=(2)/(12)=(1)/(6) \\ \text{ They ate 1/6 of the entire cake} \end{gathered}`
