Question

Shelby sold twelve snow cones in less than an hour. A third of the ones she sold were. Of those that she sold how many were strawberry?

Answer 1

If the third she sold was Strawberry then the answer is 4. But if it's another flavor then the answer is 8.

Answer 2

1/3 of the total would be four, from 12/4. The rest of the snow cones would add up to 2/3 of 12 (8).
