how many ducks are left over if Lilly ate 6/12

6/12= 50%, which means that Lily ate half the ducks. 50% of 12 is 12 divided by 2, so 6. 

 

Lily ate 6 ducks, and 6 ducks remained.

Hello rubenhh:

Your conclusion is not quite correct.

Let there be 48 ducks. and 6/12 of them is 24 of them.

That doesn't mean there are 12 ducks.

My conclusion: 1/2 of them remained.
