Question

Henry ate 1/2 of a bar of chocolate. Sally ate 1/4 of it. How much did they eat in total?

Answer 1

Answer:

THERE IS A CHOCOLATE BAR .

PART OF IT EATEN BY HENRY = 1/2

PART OF IT EATEN BY SALLY = 1/4

TOTAL PORTION OF THE CHOCOLATE EATEN BY HENRY AND SALLY = 1/4 + 1/2 = (1+2)/4

=3/4

THREE FOURTH OF THE CHOCOLATE HAS BEEN EATEN BY HENRY AND SALLY.

PORTION REMAINING = 1 - 3/4

= ( 4 - 3)/4

=1/4
