Answer:
Answer:
the original food was left on Monday night after the
chickens went to bed is 9/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Chickens ate on sunday = quarter of grain = 1/4
0n monday = quarter of grain left on sunday
fraction of original food left on monday = ?
Solution : Let Original food qty = 1
then, Chickens ate on sunday = original food qty x fraction
= 1 x 1/4
= 1/4
Food left on left on sunday night = original food - chicken ate qty
= 1 - 1/4
= 3/4
On monday chicken ate = food left on sunday night x fraction ate
= 3/4 x 1/4
= 3/16
Total food eaten by chickens = chickens ate on sunday + monday
= 1/4 + 3/16
LCM 0f 4 & 16 = 16
= (1x4 + 3x1)/16
= (4+3)/16
= 7/16
Food left on monday night = original food qty - total food eaten by chickens
= 1 - 7/16
= (16-7)/16
= 9/16
