Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3  = 8/12

1/4 = 3/12

8/12 + 3/12 + 11/12

amy & anna ate 11 and david had 1

Answer 2

Answer:

There were 12 donuts in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Let x be the number of donuts in the box.

Then, according to the question

Number of donuts eaten by Amy = $\frac{2x}{3}$

Number of donuts eaten by Anna = $\frac{x}{4}$

Number of donuts eaten by David = 1

Total number of donuts =

Number of donuts eaten by Amy + Number of donuts eaten by Anna + Number of donuts eaten by David

$\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{3} + \frac{x}{4} + 1 = x$

Solving the above equation:

$11x + 12 = 12x\\x =12$

Thus, there were 12 donuts in the box.
