Answer 2

Answer:

18/8 or 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be easily solved if 3 apples can be thought of in the mind. Or even drawing 3 apples will help. Alex had 3 apples.

Alex gave 1/2 of an apple to Arshad.

So what remains with Alex is 2 1/2 apples.

Next, he gives 1/4 of an apple to Aditya.

So now, what remains is 2 1/4 or 9/4 apples.

Therefore, 18/8 is an equivalent fraction of 9/4

So the answer can be either 9/4 or 18/8
