• The bunny ate 1/3 of a carrot in the morning.
• By the end of tha day, she had 1/4 of a carrot.
• She ate some in the night.

So, according to the problem 1/4 represents the total after eating two times, the first one was 1/3 and the second one will be represented by $x$, where 1 represents the complete carrot

$1/3+x+1/4=1$

Then, we solve for $x$,

$x=1-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{12-3-4}{12} =\frac{5}{12}$

Therefore, she ate 5/12 of a carrot at night.
