Now box is 3/4 full
3/4 = 3/4*1
3/4 = 3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12
Box is 9/12 full after heba ate 1/12 of a box of cereal
Initial fraction will be 9/12+1/12
=10/12= 5/6
Answer:
5/6.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Heba ate 1/12 of a box of cereal and the box is now 3/4 full, then before she ate the box is 3/4 plus the 1/12 (because, in the "before" situation she hasn't eaten yet). So, we need to add the "now" quantity and the quantity eaten:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{12} = \frac{10}{12} = \frac{5}{6}.[/tex]
Then, before she ate the cereal, the box is 5/6 full.
