Question

Jim has 18 chocolates. He gives one-third of them to his friend. How many chocolates are left with Jim?​

Answer 1

As per the data given in the question,

We have to determine the total number of chocolates left with Jam if he had a total of 18 chocolates and if he had given one - third of them to his friend.

As, Jim had given one - third of chocolates to his friends.

So, Number of chocolates given to friend will be

$\frac{1}{3}\times 18\\=. 6$

So, Number of chocolates left with Jim will be

$=(18-6) = 12\:Chocolates$
