Question

my father gave me 5/8 of a chocolaté tome 2/8 was eaten by my brother . what fraction of the chocolate was left with me​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{9}{10}$fraction of the chocolate was left with me​

Step-by-step explanation:

My father gave me $\frac{5}{8}$ of a chocolate.

My brother ate $\frac{2}{8}$ of chocolate given by my father.

Fraction of chocolate left with me = Fraction of chocolate given to me - Fraction of chocolate eaten by my father

                               $=\frac{5}{5}-\frac{2}{8} \\ \\ \\ =\frac{5 \cdot 8-2 \cdot 2}{40} \\ \\ =\frac{40-4}{40} \\ \\ =\frac{36}{40} \\ \\ =\frac{9}{10} \\ \\ =0.9$
