Question

Mrs harris took 6 oranges out of the refrigerator and cut them into wedges. each wedge represents 1/6 of the entire orange. Her children ate 3/4 of the wedges, how many are left

Answer 1

The first thing we must do for this case is calculate the number of wedges.
 We have then:
 N = (6) / (1/6)
 N = 36
 We now calculate how many wedges the children ate:
 (3/4) * (36) = 27
 The amount of wedges remaining is:
 36-27 = 9
 Answer:
 there are 9 wedges left.
