Question

spiral review
angel checks out 12 library books, and shikoba checks out \\(\frac{1}{3}\\) less than that.
how many books does shikoba check out?

Explanation:

Step1: Find 1/3 of 12

To find \(\frac{1}{3}\) of 12, we calculate \(12\times\frac{1}{3}\).
\(12\times\frac{1}{3} = 4\)

Step2: Subtract from Angel's books

Shikoba checks out \(\frac{1}{3}\) less than Angel, so we subtract the value from Step 1 from Angel's 12 books.
\(12 - 4 = 8\)

Answer:

8
