Question

At the party , Alka found that only 5/6 of the cake was left . She ate 1/4 of it . What fraction of the full cake did she eat ?​

Answer 1

Given,

The left amount of cake was = ⅚

She ate the portion of the left cake = ¼

To find,

We will assume that, the total amount of cake is 1, in order to simplify the rest of the mathematical calculations.

The left amount of cake = ⅚ portion

The portion of cake that she ate with respect to the whole cake = ⅚ × ¼ = 5/24

(5/24 portion of the cake is calculated on the basis of the whole 1 portion of cake.)

Hence, she ate 5/24 part of the whole cake.
