Question

Answer 1

5/8 is the answer

hope it helps

Answer 2

Acc to the question,

There was a cake i.e. 1 complete cake. which is cut into 8 slices.

Out of the 8 slices, Einstein hands out 3 slices to his guests i.e. 3/8 part is distributed.

So remaining part of the cake = 1 - part of the cake shared = 1 - 3/8 = 5/8.

Therefore, the last option i.e. 5/8 is the correct option.

Hope that helps, thanks for asking. :)
