Question

Yu Min made brownies for school. After cutting the brownies into equal pieces, Yu Min gave 4 to her brother, and she split the remaining brownies with her mathematics teacher and her art teacher. If she had 24 brownies, how many brownies did each of the 2 teachers receive?

Answer 1

10 for each teacher

Explanation:

1. She gave 4 brownies to her brother which is 24-4=20

2. There were 2 teachers, the art and mathematics and both got the same amount so 20 divided 2

3. 20 divided 2 equals 10

so therefore each of the 2 teachers will get 10 brownies each

Answer 2

10 brownies.

Explanation:

First, subtract 4 from 24 bc she gave 4 to her bro. So she has 20 brownie pieces left. Then do 20/2=10. Therfore, the math and art teacher both get 10 brownies.
