choose the correct answer

Answer 1

Answer:

he ate 1/5 much more than saira

Answer 2

Answer:

Sam ate the larger part by 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sam ate $\frac{3}{5}$ of a chocolate

Saira ate the remaining part

To find,

How much more the person with a larger share ate

Solution

The part of chocolate Saira ate = Whole chocolate  - part of the chocolate  

Sam ate

= 1 - $\frac{3}{5}$

= $\frac{2}{5}$

∴The part of chocolate Saira ate  = $\frac{2}{5}$

Since  $\frac{3}{5}$ >      $\frac{2}{5}$, we can say that Sam ate more part.

How much more part  Sam ate =  $\frac{3}{5}$ -      $\frac{2}{5}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$

Hence. we can conclude that Sam ate the larger part by 1/5
