    Start with 1/3 - 3/4. Find the lowest common demoninator (LCD) which is 12.

    4/12 - 9/12.

    5/12 are left.

    How many light bulbs might be in a full box?

    Answer: 1/2 of the box of light bulbs was left.



    What fraction of the box of light bulbs was left?

    Answer: Any multiple of 12, because 1/4 and 1/3 have a common denominator of 12.

    (1/3) * (3/4) = 3/12 = 1/4 used

    4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4 left

    To find the number of bulbs in a full box, you need a multiple of 3 and 4 which could be:

    12, 24, 36, 48, etc.

    Use multiples of 12 to find how many light bulbs are in a whole box.
