Answer 1

Answer:

$\mathtt{7\frac{1}{2}\;chocolates}$ was left with Evan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

Evan had 9 chocolates and gave 4 away to somebody. Then Evan's mom gave him another 10 chocolates he ate half how many chocolates does he have now: Express in fraction.

Solution:

Chocolates Evan had = 9 chocolates

After giving 4 chocolates to somebody, number of chocolates left with Evan                                 = (9-4) chocolates

                        = 5 chocolates

After his mom gave him 10 chocolates, number of chocolates with Evan                                        = (5+10) chocolates

                       = 15 chocolates

After Evan ate half of the chocolates, number of chocolates left with him      $\mathtt{=\big(15\times\frac{1}{2}\big)chocolates}$

$\mathtt{=\big(\frac{15}{2}\big)chocolates}$

$= \mathtt{7\frac{1}{2}\;chocolates}$

Extra Information:

• In a fraction $\frac{a}{b}$, a is known as numerator and b is known as denominator.
• There are 3 major types of fraction. They are -

1. Proper Fraction - A fraction where numerator is smaller than denominator is called proper fraction. Eg - $\mathtt{\frac{2}{3},\frac{4}{10}, etc.}$
2. Improper Fraction - A fraction where denominator is smaller than numerator is called improper fraction. Eg - $\mathtt{\frac{9}{7},\frac{8}{6}, etc.}$
3. Mixed Fraction - A fraction which is combination of whole number and proper fraction is called mixed fraction. Eg - $\mathtt{2\frac{1}{3},10\frac{1}{2}, etc.}$
