at recess, amy ate 1/4 of a bag of chips. Beth ate 2/3 of what was left. How much of the bag of chips was left? How much was left?

Question

 I have this thing called LG also known as earning guide, and I can't figure out the problem, or it takes to long, and I turn to google and copy paste. I think my teachers have figured out that students are doing this, and have made it impossible to copy paste, so I am turning to this as guidance. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

So we start with 1 bag of chips and we remove 1/4.

 

1 - 1/4 = 3/4

 

If 2/3 of the remaining chips are then removed, that means 1/3 will be left.  To find out what 1/3 of 3/4 is, just multiply the numbers.

 

3/4 x 1/3 = 3/12

 

3/12 will simplify to 1/4, and that's your answer.
