Question

Ramesh had 28 pencils, Sheelu had 50 pencils and Jamaal had 80 pencils. After 4 months, Ramesh used up 10 pencils, Sheelu used up 25 pencils and Jamaal used up 40 pencils. What fraction did each use up?​

Answer 1

Given that:

• Ramesh had 28 pencils, Sheelu had 50 pencils and Jamaal had 80 pencils.
• After 4 months, Ramesh used up 10 pencils, Sheelu used up 25 pencils and Jamaal used up 40 pencils.

To Find:

• What fraction did each use up?

Ramesh,

He used 10 pencils out of 28 pencils.

• Fraction = 10/28 = 5/14

Sheelu,

She used 25 pencils out of 50 pencils.

• Fraction = 25/50 = 1/2

Jamaal,

He used 40 pencils out of 80 pencils.

• Fraction = 40/80 = 1/2

Answer 2

❒ Given :-

• ➵ Ramesh had 28 pencils, Sheelu had 50 pencils and Jamaal had 80 pencils.
• ➵ After 4 months, Ramesh used up 10 pencils, Sheelu used up 25 pencils and Jamaal used up 40 pencils.

❒ Solution :-

${\blue{➢{\underline{\red{\bf{ Fraction \: of \: Ramesh's \: pencils \: : }}}}}}$

• ➳ Pencils = 28
• ➳ Used up = 10

✬

${\large{\bf{\green{Fraction = \frac{10}{28} \: or \: \frac{5}{14} }}}}$

${\blue{➢{\underline{\red{\bf{ Fraction \: of \: Sheelu's\: pencils \: : }}}}}}$

• ➳ Pencils = 50
• ➳ Pencils Used = 25

✬

${\large{\bf{\green{Fraction = \frac{25}{50} \: or \: \frac{1}{2} }}}}$

${\blue{➢{\underline{\red{\bf{ Fraction \: of \: Jamaal's\: pencils \: : }}}}}}$

• ➳ Pencils = 80
• ➳ Pencils Used = 40

✬

${\large{\bf{\green{Fraction = \frac{40}{80} \: or \: \frac{1}{2} }}}}$

❒ Hence :

${\large{\purple{\underline{\pink{\underline{\orange{\mathfrak{\pmb{\bf{Fractions \: are = \frac{10}{28}, \frac{25}{50}, \frac{40}{80} . }}}}}}}}}}$
