Two friends cut a large candy bar into equal pieces. Harriet ate 1/4 of the pieces. Nisha ate 1/2 of hte remaining pieces. Six pieces were left over. How many piees was the candy bar originally divided into?
Draw out a large rectangle. Divide that into 4 equal pieces. then shade out 1/2 of 1/4. divide the remaining pieces into 6 equal pieces. then, make the shaded parts into pieces equal to 1/6 of the non shaded part. Add them up.
