Question

If i have 2 1/2 pans of brownie left, and my sister eats 1/3 of the brownies, how much of a pan has she eaten

Answer 1

5/6 is the answer because i just did it about three times and checked it

Answer 2

5/6 a pan of brownies.

Explanation:

2 1/2=5/2, So you have 5/2 pans of brownies. If your sister eats 1/3 of these brownies we can write the equation 5/2*1/3=b=5/6, with variable b being how much of a pan of brownies your sister has eaten. Your sister has eaten 5/6 a pan of brownies.
