Question

Priya has 8 apples 1 / 8 of her apples she ate on Monday and 3/8 of the remaining she ate on Tuesday and Wednesday. what fraction of Apples is left with her.​

Answer 1

Answer:

4/8 or 1/2

Explanation:

Priya has 8 apples. So we convert all of them into a whole unit, ie, 1.

So, on Monday, Priya ate 1/8 of her apples.

So, the remaining apples are

1 - 1/8 = (8 - 1)/8 = 7/8.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, she ate 3/8 of the remaining.

So, 7/8 - 3/8 = (7-3)/8

= 4/8, which can be further reduced to

= 1/2.

Thanks and have a great day! :))
