( steps are important)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Amount eaten by Sowmya = 3/5

We need to find the amount of apple eaten by Renu.

We know, that since the given fraction's denominator is 5, the full apple will be = 5/5.

So, sowmya ate 3/5 from 5/5

so, let's form an equation, using renu's share to be = x

3/5 + x = 5/5

x = 5 - 3/5

= 2/5

So, sowmya ate 3/5 of the apple

and Renu ate 2/5 of the apple

So, Soumya had the longer share by = 3/5 - 2/5 = 1/5 of the apple
