Question

Jack had 12 apples. He gave 1/4 apples to his sister. How many apples are left with him ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Since jack had 12 apples and gave 1/4 to his sister, you simply multiply 1/4 by 12 as:

1/4 × 12 which equals

12/4

which, when written in standard form equals 3 because 12÷4=3

He gave 3 apples to his sister so 12-3=9

Thus he has 9 apples left
