Question

David distributed 19/24 apples in his class and gave 1/24 to his friend Richard. What fraction of apples he

gave away in all?(Give answer in lowest form).​

Answer 1

Answer:

apples distributed in class=19/24

apple received by his friend=1/24

so fraction of apples he gave away in all = (19+1)/24=20/24

you can also interpret it as he had 24 apples from which he distributed 20 apples and he has 4 left with him

Answer 2

total fraction of apple=1

Total fraction of apples that he distributed

= 1/24+19/24 =20/24

Total fraction that he gave away in all =1-20/24

=4/24

=1/6
