They had 31 for snacking. 1/4 which is 31 was given to the neighbor. Which means 62 were used in the pie. So what is left of the strawberries is 31. So 31 were left for snacking. Your answer for the first part of the question was wrong

Answer:

62 went in the pie

31 are for snacking

Explanation:

124 strawberries

Divide by 4

124/4 =31

1/4 went to the neighbor so 31 went to the neighbor

2/4 went into the pie so 2* 31 = 62 so 62 went into the pie

The total used 31+62 = 93

There were 124, so subtract the ones used

124-93=31

The rest are for snacking

There are 31 left for snacking
