Mrs harris took 6 oranges out of the refrigerator and cut them into wedges. each wedge represents 1/6 of the entire orange. Her children ate 3/4 of the wedges, how many are left

The first thing we must do for this case is calculate the number of wedges.

We have then:

N = (6) / (1/6)

N = 36

We now calculate how many wedges the children ate:

(3/4) * (36) = 27

The amount of wedges remaining is:

36-27 = 9

Answer:

there are 9 wedges left.
