Question

Ramesh had 20 pencils. Shaelu had 50 pencils and Jamaal had 80 pencils. After 4 months,

Ramesh used up 10 pencils, shaelu used up 25 pencils and Jamaal used up 40 pencils.

What fractions did each used up? Check is each used up equal fractions of pencils or not.​

Answer 1

Answer:

I am going to write in short.

We create a fraction of how many pencils are used by each one of them.

so each one of them used 1/2 of the pencils.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ramesh:

Total pencils = 20

Used up pencils = 10

Fraction of pencils used =10/20= 1/2

Sheelu:

Total pencils = 50

Used up pencils = 25

Fraction of pencils used =25/50= 1/2

Jamaal:

Total pencils = 80

Used up pencils = 40

Fraction of pencils used =40/80 = 1/2

Hence, all three of them used up 1/2 the number of pencils they had.
