Respuesta :

Answer:

Lisa has 12 watermelon slices

B.

12

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is the maximum

Charles basically eats half of lisa's

Charles could eat 6

lisa has 6 x 2 = 12

12 is the sum of both Charles and Lisa

1/2s+1s=12

So 1/3 is half of 2/3 but if you add 1/3 to 2/3 is it equal to 1 so pretend that one is 12
Divide 12 into thirds = 4/12 + 8/12 = 12/12
Charles ate 4 slices and Lisa ate 8 slices
