Question

evelin had 1/4 of piece of choclate leftover. she wanted to share it which n other people. if each other person got 1/12 of a piece of choclate, how many people did she share with ?

Answer 1

2 other people.

Explanation:

First, find a common denominator. Note that what you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator:

`(1)/(4) * (3)/(3) = (3)/(12)`

Each other person implies that she will reserve a piece of chocolate for herself, so you will subtract 1:

`(3)/(12) - (1)/(12) = (2)/(12)`

She will share with 2 other people.
