Question

A boy eats 1\4 of a loaf at breakfast and 5\8 of it for lunch. What fraction of the loaf is left​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 + 1/4 = 7/8

8/8 - 7/8 = 1/8 loaf is left

Answer 2

Answer:

$\longrightarrow \: \frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{8} + x = 1 \\ \longrightarrow \: \frac{2 + 5 + 8x}{8} = 1 \\ \longrightarrow \: {7 + 8x} = 1 \times 8 \\ \longrightarrow \: 8x = 8 - 1 \\ \longrightarrow \: x = \frac{1}{8 } \:$

Therefore, 1/8 Fraction of bread is left.
