solve it and turn it in to my instructor!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!! here it

goes……..

One evening, Mama baked a large batch of pastries for her family, which

consisted of Papa and their three children: Ed, Lisa, and Judy. During the

night, Papa got up and ate 1/3 of the pastries. He then (separate from the

1/3) gave one pastry to the family dog, Spike.

The oldest son, Ed was the next to get up. He planned to eat 1/4 of the

pastries, but when he separated them into 4 piles, he saw there were 3

pastries left over. He decided to feed those 3 pastries to Spike. Ed then

ate the original planned 1/4 of the pastries.

Lisa awoke next and gobbled down 1/3 of the remaining pastries. Before

going back to bed, Lisa gave 2 pastries to Spike.

The last family member to awaken and visit the kitchen was young Judy.

She ate 8 pastries and then gave 1/8 of what was left to Spike.

The next morning Mama noticed there were only 14 pastries left! She ate

2, gave 2 to Spike, and then split the remaining pastries evenly for her

whole family, (5 people in all: Mama, Papa, Ed, Lisa, and Judy) to have for

breakfast.
