alexzander had 12 choclate bars he gave 1/3 to his sisiter hoe much dose he have left

To find out how many chocolate bars Alexander has left, let's break it down:

1. Alexander had 12 chocolate bars.
2. He gave \( \frac{1}{3} \) of his chocolate bars to his sister.

First, we calculate how many chocolate bars he gave away:
\[
\frac{1}{3} \times 12 = 4 \text{ bars}
\]

Now, we subtract the 4 bars he gave away from the original 12:
\[
12 - 4 = 8
\]

So, Alexander has 8 chocolate bars left.

4. If Alexander got 5 more chocolate bars, how many would he have then?
5. How many chocolate bars did Alexander give away if he had 15 and gave \( \frac{1}{3} \)?

**Tip**: When dealing with fractions of a total, always multiply the fraction by the total number to find the portion.
