if one sugar cane has 14 equal parts and your sister has etan 3/7 part of this sugar cane then tell how many parts will be left for you?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Total parts = 14
sister ate = 3/7
=3*2/7*2
=6/14
=14 - 6
=8
HENCE,8 PARTS WILL BE LEFT FOR YOU
Answer:
The correct answer is 8. That is, after the sister ate 3/7 part of the sugarcane, 8 out of 14 parts were left.
Step-by-step explanation:
So according to the question :
The information given to us is -
- 1 sugarcane is cut into 14 equal parts
- Sister has taken 3/7 part from it
To find :
total parts of sugarcane left ?
Solution :
Total parts = 14/14 (as we are talking of 14 out of 14 pieces)
Part eaten by sister = 3/7 ( she ate 3 out of 7 pieces)
Remaining part of sugarcane = total parts - part eaten by sister
= 14/14 - 3/7
To make the denominator equal we multiply 3/7 with 2 at both the numerator and denominator and hence we get :
= 14/14 - 6/14
= (14-6) /14
=8/14
Hence we can say that according to our above calculations, there were 8 parts of sugarcane available after the sister ate 3/7 part of the sugarcane.
