Answer 1

Answer:

A) Kenika and Charlene ate 2/3 of the chocolate bar.

B) The 3 of them ate 7/9 of the chocolate bar.

C) The fraction of the chocolate bar left = 2/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kenika ate 1/3 of the chocolate bar.

Charlene ate 1/3 of the chocolate bar.

Krithika ate 1/9 of the chocolate bar.

A) Kenika and Charlene ate 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3 of the chocolate bar.

B) The 3 of them ate 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/9 = (3 + 3 + 1)/9 = 7/9 of the chocolate bar.

C) The fraction of the chocolate bar was left = 1 - 7/9 = (9 - 7)/9 = 2/9.
