Amal had 12 stuffed animals and gave 3 over 4 of them to charity. Maria had 6 stuffed animals and gave 1 third to charity Who had the most stuffed animals left?

To solve:

Amal gave away 3/4, meaning that he had 1/4 left.

Maria gave away 1/3, meaning she had 2/3 left.

Amal: (12) (1/4) = 3 stuffed animals left

Maria: (6) (2/3) = 4 stuffed animals left

Answer: Maria had the most stuffed animals left.

3/4 of 12 = 9

So, 12-9=3

&

1/3 of 6 = 2

So, 6-2=4

3<4

Maria has the most stuffed animals left
