Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is

She ate 8 grapes

She gave to Tom 12 grapes

She has left 4 grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total grapes = 24

Portion eaten = 1/3

Portion given = 3/4

Process

1.- Divide 24 by three

               24/3 = 8

Jenny ate 8 grapes

2.- Grapes left

              24 - 8 = 16

- Divide 16 by 4

              16/4 = 4

She gave to Tom 4 x 3 = 12 grapes

3.- The grapes she left were

         24 - 8 - 12 = 4

Answer: she ate 8 grapes.

She gave 12 grapes to Tom

She has 4 grapes left

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny had 24 grapes. She ate 1/3 of them. This means that the number if get grapes that she ate is

1/3 × 24 = 8

The number of grapes remaining would be

24 - 8 = 16

She gave 3/4 of the rest to Tom. This means that the number of grapes that she gave to Tom is

3/4 × 16 = 12 grapes

The number of grapes that she has left would be

16 - 12 = 4
