Question

There is 2/3 of a pan of brownies left on the

counter. If you eat 2/3 of the brownies left in the
pan, what is the fraction of the whole pan that
you ate?

Answer 1

He ate 4/9 of the pan of brownies.

Explanation:

So the question might seem hard but when you read it, it said that there were 2/3 of brownies left and he ate 2/3 of that 2/3 in that pan so to figure 2/3 of 2/3 I divided 2/3 by 3 which is 2/9, 2/9 is 1/3 of 2/3 to figure out 2/3 of 2/3 you need to add by itself which you get 4/9.
