    Draw out a large rectangle. Divide that into 4 equal pieces. then shade out 1/2 of 1/4. divide the remaining pieces into 6 equal pieces. then, make the shaded parts into pieces equal to 1/6 of the non shaded part. Add them up.

    Harriet at 1/4 of all pieces

    4/4-1/4=3/4

    nisha ate 1/2 of remaining (3/4)

    1/2 of 3/4=3/8 eaten

    ok, so eaten=1/4+3/8=2/8+3/8=5/8 eaten

    8/8-5/8=3/8 left

    3/8=6 pices

    1/8=2 pieces

    8/8=16 pices

    origainally divided into 16 pieces
