Question

Mariel brought 48 brownies to school for a class party. The class ate 5/6 of the brownies, and Mariel brought the rest home. How many brownies did Mariel bring home?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

To find out how many brownies were eaten, multiply 48*5/6

48 *5/6 = 40

There were 48 brownies originally

48-40 = 8

That means 8 brownies were left to take home
