Mariel brought 48 brownies to school for a class party. The class ate 5/6 of the brownies, and Mariel brought the rest home. How many brownies did Mariel bring home?

Respuesta :

The number of brownies Mariel brought home is 8

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of brownies, n = 48

Class ate = [tex]\frac{5}{6} X 48[/tex]

               = 40

Mariel brought rest of the brownies home.

So, the number of brownies Mariel brought home = 48 - 40

                                                                              = 8
