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✌️✌️
