Bev had 24 pieces of candy. She gave Jamie 1/3.
From the candy pieces remaining she then gave Selena
¼. How many pieces of candy does she have left?
Answers
Answer:
Number of candies Bev have left are 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
No. of candy Bev has= 24
She gave 1 /3 of candy to Jamie.
No. of candy Jamie got = 1 /3 of total candy
= 1 /3 of 24
=1 / 3 × 24=8 candy
No. of candy she remained = total no. of candy - no of candy she gave to Jamie
=24 - 8
=16
No. of candy Selena got = 1 /4 of remaining candy
= 1 4 of 16
=1 /4 ×16
=4
No. of candy left = total candy - (candy Jamie got +candy Selena got)
= 24 - ( 8 + 4)
= 24 - 12
=12
