Question

Margo made 2 and 2/3 pounds of fudge. She gives a fourth of it to her friend Laney. How many pounds of fudge did Laney get?

Answer 1

100 pounds fudge is unhealthy

Answer 2

Answer:

Laney gets two-thirds pounds of fudge.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Givens
• Margo made $2\frac{2}{3}lb$ of fudge.
• She gives $\frac{1}{4}$ of it to her friend Laney.

Remember that the word "of" means multiplication. So, if she gives a fourth "of" it, it means that we have to multiply

$\frac{1}{4} \times 2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{8}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$

Margo gives two-thirds pounds of fudge to Laney. In other words, Laney gets two-thirds pounds of fudge.
