rene has 1 box of cupcakes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "she gives 1/2 to john, so john gets 1/2 of a box and she keeps 1/2 of a box.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "john gives 3/4 of his share to elena.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "elena gets 3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8 of the box.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "john keeps 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 of the box.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "rene keeps 1/2 of the box.
\n" ); document.write( "john keeps 1/8 of the box.
\n" ); document.write( "elena gets 3/8 of the box.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/2 + 1/8 + 3/8 = 4/8 + 1/8 + 3/8 = 8/8 = 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
