Question

in a class party 1/4 of the children eat chocolate ice cream, 1/5 of the children eat vanilla ice cream. the rest of the children eat butterscotch. what fraction of the children eat butterscotch​

Answer 1

Answer:

11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since denominators are not equal we have to find the LCM of the numbers

LCM of 4 and 5 = 20

We have to make them equivalent also

1/4=5/20

1/5=4/20

Fraction of children who ate butterscotch ice cream=20/20-(5/20+4/20)

=-20/20-9/20

=11/20

Hope this helps you
