Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer will 2 for each of them.

Answer 2

1. Ramesh

Total pencil ✏️ he have = 20

Total used pencil. = 10

Fraction =

$\frac{10}{20}$

means

$\frac{1}{2}$

Now

Shilu

Total pencil = 50

she used = 25

so in fraction =

$\frac{25}{50} = \frac{1}{2}$

Jamaal

Total pencil ✏️= 80

he/she used = 40

in fraction =

$\frac{40}{80} = \frac{1}{2}$

We can see that all these fractions are same

therefore each of them used equal fractions of pencil
