Question

The children ate 3/8 of the watermelon brought by the mother. And 2/8 part was eaten by grandmother. So how much part of watermelon was eaten in total?

Answer 1

Answer:

Water melon ate by Children = 3/8

Water melon ate by Grand mother = 2/8

$\frac{3}{8} + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{3 + 2}{8}$

$= \frac{5}{8}$

So, Total part of watermelon eaten = 5/8

Answer 2

Given: Part of the watermelon ate by children = $\frac{3}{8}$

           Part of the watermelon ate by grandmother = $\frac{2}{8}$

To find: How much part of watermelon was eaten in total

Let: Total part of watermelon be 1

Solution: According to the given question and assumption made:

Total part of watermelon eaten = Part eaten by children + Part eaten by grandmother

                                                     = $\frac{3}{8} + \frac{2}{8}$

                                                     = $\frac{3 + 2}{8}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$

Hence, part of watermelon eaten in total was 5/8.
