Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Cristine bought a dozen lemons and gave 1/4 of them to her neighbor. How many lemons does Cristine have left?
Cristine bought 1 x 12 = 12 lemons. She gave 12 x 1 / 4 = 3 lemons to her neighbor. So, Cristine is left with 12 - 3 = 9 lemons.
The final answer: 9.
