Step-by-step explanation:
Tom baked a cake, and Sam ate 1/6 of the cake => there is 5/6 of the cake left.
Brook took 1/5 of the remaining cake
=> (5/6)*1/5
= 1/6
Therefore Brooke ate 1/6 of the cake
=> 5/6 - 1/6
= 4/6 of the cake is left.
Hashir took 1/4 of what's left
=> 1/4 * 4/6
=> 1/6
Therefore Hashir had 1/6 of the full cake
=> 4/6 - 1/6
= 3/6
=1/2 of the cake is left.
Ben took 1/2 of what's left
=> 1/2 * 1/2
= 1/4
Therefore Ben had 1/4 of the cake
=> 1/2 - 1/4
= 1/4 of the cake is left.
Therefore , there is 1/4 of the cake left.
