Question
![**Problem: Fractional Amount - Brownies Consumption**
**Question:**
Felisha had 4 pans of brownies. She ate one-third of each pan of brownies. How many pans of brownies were left? (Write your answer as an improper fraction or mixed number.)
**Answer Submission Box:**
[ ]
**Explanation:**
To solve this problem, you need to determine how much of the brownies were eaten and then subtract that amount from the total number of pans Felisha initially had.
1. **Determining the amount eaten:**
- Felisha ate one-third of each of the 4 pans.
- Therefore, the total amount she ate can be calculated as \( \frac{1}{3} \times 4 = \frac{4}{3} \) pans of brownies.
2. **Number of pans left:**
- Since Felisha had 4 pans initially and she ate \( \frac{4}{3} \) pans, the remaining amount can be calculated as:
\[ 4 - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{12}{3} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{8}{3} \]
3. **Final Answer:**
- The number of pans of brownies left is \( \frac{8}{3} \). This can also be written as the mixed number, \( 2 \frac{2}{3} \).
So, the final answer should be written in the answer submission box as either \( \frac{8}{3} \) or \( 2 \frac{2}{3} \).](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/dae00ab4-d615-48c1-8bca-63853cfbe238/80190098-2ece-419f-afc4-a963c0ab2ce4/rfq0937_processed.png)
