Test Corrections

My first mistake was: 
1. Tamar had 1/2 of an apple pie in her refrigerator. She ate 1/4 of this piece of pie. What fraction of a whole did she eat? Instead of multiplying it, I subtracted it.


My second mistake was:
2. 1/4 divided by 1/3. I answered it correctly but I didn't know how to draw it.
