    3/4 of 48 is 36, 2/3 of 48 is 32, and 5/6 of 48 is 40. 36+32+40=108.

    108 ounces total left, 48x3=144.

    144-108=36.

    36 total ounces spilt

    Jill lost 1/3

    Bill lost 1/6

    and Jack lost 1/4

    Make a common denominator - let's use 12

    Jill lost 4/12

    Bill lost 2/12

    Jack lost 3/12

    Add them together = 9/12

    reduce by dividing by 3.

    total of 3/4 spilt

    48 divided into 4 parts then multiplied by 3 of those parts

    48 / 4 * 3 = 36
