Sam bought 12 apples. he used 1/3 of the apples to make apple pies. how many apples did he use for the apple pie? please show me how you get the answer
he used four apples to make an apple pie. you can simply divide 12 by 3. 1/3 of 12 apples would be 4. if you think about it 2/3 would be 8 apples, adding four more apples would be 12 apples making that 3/3.
