Mrs. Gerety, Miss Jess, and Ms. Cook have two whole chocolate bars (yum!). Mrs. Gerety ate 2/5 of a bar, Miss Jess ate 9/10 of a bar, and Ms. Cook ate 1/20 of a bar. Did they eat the entire two chocolate bars? 

2/5 + 9/10 + 1/20 = 8/20 + 18/20 + 1/20 = 29/20 

So, no. They didn't eat the two whole chocolate bars. Maybe they gave some to Ms. White and Ms. McKeever. Or, maybe Mr. Fenton came and stole the rest!

12 1/2 + 5 2/3 = 12 3/6 + 5 4/6 = 17 7/6 = 18 1/6

Ms. White and Ms. McKeever both love coffee. In the morning, Ms. McKeever fills her cup 3/4 of the way full so it doesn't spill. Ms. White, however, likes to leave extra room for milk. She fills her cup 2/3 of the amount that Ms. McKeever fills her cup. How much of the cup does Ms. White fill? 

2/3 of 3/4 = 2/3 X 3/4 = 6/12 or 1/2 of the cup
