For Aaliyah‘s graduation party her mom made her a chocolate cake her siblings ate 1/4 of the cake and her friends ate 2/3 of the cake how much cake was left

Answer 1

To find out how much cake was left, we need to subtract the amount eaten by Aaliyah's siblings and friends from the original cake.

Aaliyah's siblings ate 1/4 of the cake, which means 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 of the cake was left after they ate.

Aaliyah's friends ate 2/3 of the cake, which means 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 of the cake was left after they ate.

To find out the amount of cake left, we need to find the common denominator of 3/4 and 1/3, which is 12.

Converting 3/4 to the denominator of 12, we get 3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12.

Converting 1/3 to the denominator of 12, we get 1/3 * 4/4 = 4/12.

Now we can subtract 9/12 and 4/12: 9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12.

Therefore, 5/12 of the cake was left after Aaliyah's siblings and friends ate.
