Answer: Andrea bought 9 multigrain bagels

Step-by-step explanation: If Andrea bought 12 bagels & 2/3 were multigrain bagels, the equation would use is 12 ÷ 3 = 4 x 2 = 8

Another way/equation we can also use is 12 x 2/3 = 24/3 = 8

So therefore, Andrea bought 8 multigrain bagels.


Hope this helps! ( •×•´U )

Answer: 8 Bagels were multigrain.

Explanation:

If it's divided by thirds, then you would divide 12 by 3 then multiple your answer by 2 to get the total amount.
