Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
Cristine bought a dozen lemons and gave 1/4 of them to her neighbor. How many lemons does Cristine have left?

### Response:
Cristine bought 1 x 12 = <<1*12=12>>12 lemons.
So, she gave 12 x 1/4 = <<12*1/4=3>>3 lemons to her neighbor.
Therefore, Cristine has 12 - 3 = <<12-3=9>>9 lemons left.
