Question

Four girls A,B,C and D share a box of chocolates among themselves. A takes 1/4 of the chocolates, B takes 3/8 of the remainder and C takes 5/9 of the left overs. What fraction of the chocolates does D have?

Answer 1

Answer:

5/24

Step-by-step explanation:

A takes 1/4.

1 - 1/4 = 3/4, so 3/4 is left.

B takes 3/8 of 3/4, so he has taken 3/8 * 3/4 = 9/32

1 - 9/32 - 1/4 = 1 - 9/32 - 8/32 = 15/32, so 15/32 is left.

C takes 5/9 of the left-over, which I assume you meant 5/9 of 15/32.

5/9 * 15/32 = 25/96

Fraction of the chocolate which D has

= 1 - 1/4 - 9/32 - 25/96

= 5/24

hope it helps you buddy✌️✌️
