Question

Freddy brought some candy and gave 1/3 to Liza. Liza gave the rest to Maria. If Liza got 18 How much did Maria get?

Answer 1

wouldnt you just take 18 divided by 1/3? and you have your answer?

Answer 2

liza gave the rest or freddy??

Answer 3

If 18 is 1/3, then multiply by three to get the total (64) and then subtract 18 to get what was given to maria (64-18 = 36)

Answer 4

No to Maria.

Answer 5

Freddy gave 1/3 to lisa, and he gave the rest to maria. That means he gave 2/3 to Maria.
Maria is going to get twice as much as Lisa (because 2*(1/3) is 2/3)
So
18*2 = 36
