Rachel has 16 chocolate bars. Tracey takes 4 from her and asks for the remaining quarter. What would she end up with?
8 chocolate bars
I am not sure what it means by remaining quarter though
Count to twelve 3 times like 3,6,9,12
3 because she took 4 from you and you are left with 12 and ahe wants the quarter of 12 so the answer is 3
To find out how many chocolate bars Rachel would end up with after Tracey takes 4 and asks for the remaining quarter, follow these steps:
1. Start with the number of chocolate bars Rachel has initially, which is 16.
2. Subtract the number of chocolate bars Tracey took, which is 4.
- 16 - 4 = 12
3. Divide the remaining number of chocolate bars, 12, by 4, to find the quarter.
- 12 / 4 = 3
So, Rachel would end up with 3 chocolate bars after Tracey takes 4 and asks for the remaining quarter.
The question is horribly worded.
There is no remaining quarter.
There are three quarters remaining (of the original 16).
The question needs to say "Tracey asks for a quarter of the remaining chocolate bars". NOT "Tracey asks for the remaining quarter"
No wonder kids have problems doing arithmetic if the problems are not written well.
