Question

A baker made 20 pies. a boy scout troop buys one–fourth of his pies, a preschool teacher buys one–third of his pies, and a caterer buys one–sixth of his pies. how many pies does the baker have left?

Answer 1

One-fourth + one-sixth + one-third

three plus two plus four /12 = 9/12 = 3/4 

So, balance = 1/4 = 1/4 times 20 = 5 pies which is the answer!
