A.
sammixboo (sammixboo):
So if she ate 1/4 of it, then 2/4 - 1/4 = ?
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Yes A is right, because she has 1/4 bag left, so 4/4 - 1.4 = 3/4
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
YAY!
sammixboo (sammixboo):
1/4*

wait, so ur sayin D. now?
sammixboo (sammixboo):
No, A
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
okok,,, i need 4 more! ;)
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Because there is 4/4 of a bag all together. After she finished eating, she had 1/4, so 4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Wait, what? It started off 1/2 full...

rite! ok... we got it! :P... nbew question commin upo
sammixboo (sammixboo):
It says how much of the whole bag of popcorn she ate, so that would be the whole bag, right?
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
new*
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Or only the 1/2?
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
This question is ambiguous. Did she eat 1/4 of the amount in the bag, or 1/4 of the total bag volume?

i think it ment how much of it did HE eat... so D?
sammixboo (sammixboo):
She ate 1/4 of the popcorn in the bag
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
ok!
sammixboo (sammixboo):
I mean, if it was only counting for the 1/2, the answer is given. "Germaine ate 1/4 of a bag of popcorn"
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
So she ate 1/4 of the 1/2, or 1/4*1/2

And it is asking how much she ate from the WHOLE bag, it would be 3/4??
sammixboo (sammixboo):
agh
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
A. ir Rite!!! ok movin on ppl!
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
I think she ate 1/8th, since she ate 1/4 of the remaining 1/2. But ambiguous questions will get these answers...
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Oh yeah, whoops

I would go with 1/8, not 3/4
sammixboo (sammixboo):
That's right
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Since there was only 1/2 bag to begin with, she can't have eaten 3/4 of the total bag
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
