 3 3/4 - x = 2 1/3
15/4 - x = 7/3
15/4 - 7/3 = x
45/12 - 28/12 = x
17/12 = x
1 5/12 = x.......they ate 1 5/12 pints

Answer: 1 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/3 = 7/4

3 3/4 = 15 / 4

The amount they eat = The amount they picked - The amount they remained

The amount they eat = 15 / 4 - 7/3

=45-28 / 12

=17/12

= 1 5/12
