Question

Mr. Brown has 1/4pan of lasagna left in the refrigerator. He wants to cut the lasagna into equal slices so he can have it for dinner for 3 nights. What fraction of the whole lasagna will he eat each night?

Answer 1

1/12

Explanation:

He has a 1/4 pan left and wants to divide that into 3 equal pieces. So in night he will eat 1/3 of what he has left from the 1/4 pan. To figure out how much one slice is from an entire pan:

1/4 * 1/3 = 1/12
