Question

a rickshaw puller spends half of his earnings on his children . He earn
rs 40 a day. what fractions of money does he spends on his childern
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

amount the rickshaw puller earns in a day= Rs.40

half of his earnings spent on his children= Rs.40/2

=Rs.20

therefore, the fraction of money does he spend on his children=

20/40 (cancel the denominator and numerator)

the lcm of 20,40 is 20

20/20=1

40/20=2

so the final answer (after cancellation)

=1/2

Answer 2

Given,

A Rickshaw puller earns an amount of Rs 40 per day.

He spends half of the amount earned on his children.

To Find,

Fraction of amount spent on his children from the amount earned.

Solution,

The rickshaw puller earns an amount of Rs 40 per day

Since he spends half of that amount on his children,

⇒ He spends $Rs \frac{40}{2} = Rs 20$

Now Rs 20 is half of the amount earned,

⇒ The amount spent is $\frac{1}{2}$ a fraction of the amount earned.

Henceforth, the fraction of the amount spent on his children from the total amount earned by the rickshaw puller is $\frac{1}{2}$.
