The clementine had 12 sections. Noah at 3/4 of them. How many sections are left?
Solution: 12 - 3/4
Answer: 11 1/4
12 - 3/4
12/1 - 3/4
12*4/1*4 - 3/4
48/4 - 3/4
45/4
Answer: 11 1/4
This should be 3/4 of 12
or 3/4 times 12 = 9 sections
To find out how many sections are left after Noah ate 3/4 of the clementine, we need to subtract the consumed amount from the total number of sections.
Given that the clementine had 12 sections, we can calculate the number of sections Noah ate by multiplying it by 3/4:
Number of sections Noah ate = (3/4) * 12 = (3 * 12) / 4 = 36 / 4 = 9
Now, we subtract the number of sections Noah ate from the total number of sections:
Number of sections left = Total sections - Sections Noah ate
= 12 - 9
= 3
Therefore, after Noah ate 3/4 of the clementine, there are 3 sections left.
