Question

somya gave 2/5 of her chocolates to her 8 friends. what fraction of chocolates each friend get?​

Answer 1

Let's say Somya has 40 chocolates

We took 40, because it is devisible by both 5 and 8, so that we can calculate easily.

He gave 2/5th of his chocolates to his friends

Then number of chocolates he gave to his friends will be: 40×(2/5) = 80/5

= 16

He gave these to his 8 friends.

So each will get: 16/8 = 2 chocolates

Now to calculate the fraction of total chocolate

Fraction = 2/40

= 1/20

So each friend will get 1/20th of his chocolates.
