Question

anjali uses 1/3 of a stick of butter in making sauce. she uses 5/8 of the remaining to make garlic bread. what fraction of the butter does she use in making garlic bread ​

Answer 1

Answer:

She uses 1/3 to make sauce.

So, there is 2/3 left. (1 - 1/3 = 2/3)

She uses 5/8 of the 2/3 part to make garlic bread.

5/8 of 2/3 = 5/8 * 2/3

= 5/12 part
