The fraction of the brownies left is 1/12.

Disclaimer:

The fractions provided in the question are not clear.

Assuming the following to answer the given question.

Molly ate 1/4 of the brownies,

Milo ate 2/6 of the brownies, and

Morgan ate 1/3 of the brownies.

We need to find out what fraction of the brownies is left.

Let r denote the fraction that is left.

Then we have r + 1/4 + 2/6 + 1/3 = 1

⇒ r + 1/4 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 (Writing the fraction 2/6 in the simplest form)

⇒ r + 1/4 + 2/3 = 1

⇒ r + (3 + 8)/12 = 1 (taking lcm of 4, 3 and adding the fractions 1/4 and 2/3)

⇒ r + 11/12 = 1

⇒ r = 1 - 11/12

⇒ r = (12 - 11)/12

⇒ r  = 1/12.

Therefore, the fraction of the brownies left is 1/12.
