Answer:
7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Total pieces= 12
Carmala ate 2/12, thus she ate 2 pieces from 12
Her brother ate 3/12, thus he ate 3 pieces from 12
Together, they ate 2+3=5 pieces= 5/12
Remaining= 12/12 - 5/12
= (12-5)/12
=7/12 left
Hope you understood!

Number of pieces the cake was cut into = 12 pieces
Carmela ate 2/12 of the cake
Her brother ate = 3/12 of the cake
Together they ate = 2/12 + 3/12
= 5/12 of the cake
Fraction of cake left = 12/12 - 5/12
= 7/12
