Chapter 5.1, Problem 6P

Consider this word problem about baking brownies:

You are baking brownies for your class. You put white frosting on $\frac{1}{3}$ of the brownies and you put small red hearts on $\frac{1}{4}$ of the brownies. How many brownies have both white frosting and small red hearts on them?

1. Can the brownie problem be solved? If so, solve the problem; if not, explain why not.

Is the brownie problem a problem for $\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{3}?$ If so, explain briefly why it is; if not, modify the problem so that it is a problem for $\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{3}.$

s the brownie problem a problem for $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}?$ If so, explain briefly why it is; if not, modify the problem so that it is problem of $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}.$
