Answer 1

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

The number of grapes that she has left would be

16 - 12 = 4
