Suzie got home from school to find some fractions is a pan of brownies left on the kitchen counter. She cut the remaining brownies into three pieces and found that each piece was 1/12 of the original pan,, write an equation to match how much was left when she got home
3 * 1/12 = ?
To write an equation representing how much was left when Suzie got home, let's define a variable. Let's assume the original size of the pan of brownies is represented by "x".
When Suzie cuts the remaining brownies into three pieces, each piece is 1/12 of the original pan. So, if we multiply the original size of the pan by 1/12, we can represent the size of each piece.
The equation can be written as:
Size of remaining brownies = x * (1/12)
Here, "x" represents the original size of the pan of brownies, and "1/12" represents the size of each piece after it was cut. By multiplying these values, we can determine the size of the remaining brownies when Suzie got home.
