Answer 2

Given:

Sara and asra shared 18 biscuits. sara ate 1/6 of biscuits. asra ate 1/3 of biscuits. they shared another 1/3 of biscuits with their brother wasif.

To find:

What fraction of the biscuits was left?​

Solution:

From given, we have,

Sara and asra shared 18 biscuits. sara ate 1/6 of biscuits. asra ate 1/3 of biscuits. they shared another 1/3 of biscuits with their brother wasif.

Let 'x' be the fraction of the biscuit left.

1/6 + 1/3 + 1/3 + x = 18

1/6 + 2/3 + x = 18

5/6 + x = 18

x = 18 - 5/6

x = 103/6

The fraction of the 18 biscuits left was 103/6.
