Question

Ginny divided the cake into 12 pieces. She gave 4 pieces to Sammy. What fraction of the cake did she have left?

Answer 1

Answer: 2/3 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: If we have a cake that has a total of 12 pieces, and we gave four to someone else we would have 8/12 pieces left. Now if we simplify then we would have 2/3 left.

Alternate explanation: Now if we just want to divide 4/12 then we would have 1/3.
