1) If I read 6/11 part of a book yesterday and 2/11 part today, how much part of my book is remained to read ?
Answers
Given:
Part of the book completed yesterday is 6/11
Part of the book completed today is 2/11
To find:
Part of the book that is left to read.
Solution:
Let us assume the whole part of the book as 1.
Part of the book read yesterday = (6/11)
Part of the book read today = (2/11)
The part of the book read = part of the book read yesterday + the part of the book completed today.
Total part of the book read = (6/11) + (2/11)
Since the fractions have the same denominators,
therefore these fractions are added directly.
The total part of the book read = (8/11)
We know that,
The total part of the book = Total portion of the book read + part of the book left to complete
Putting values, we get,
1 = (8/11) + part of the book left to read
Part of the book left to read = 1 - (8/11)
= (11-8)/11
= 3/11
Therefore, the part of the book that is left to read is 3/11.
