Use the concept of fractions. Fractions are numerical values that are part of a whole. An entity can be an object or a group of objects. if a number or thing is divided into equal parts, then each part will be a fraction of the whole. A fraction is denoted a/b, where a is the numerator and b is the denominator.
Given-
There were 120 tiles out of which only 72 were used .
Find-
How much fraction is left when 72 tiles were used out of 120 tiles.
Solution-
Fraction of tiles left = Total number of tiles - Number of tiles left / Total
number of tiles
Fraction of tiles left = 120 - 72 / 120
Fraction of tiles left = 48 / 120
Fraction of tiles left = 2/5
Therefore, fraction of tiles left is 2/5.
