Question

There are 32 oranges. Emma took 1/8 of oranges and Sam took 1/4 oranges. How many are left?

Answer 1

Answer:

GIVEN :

Total oranges = 32

Emma ate = ⅛

Sam ate = ¼

TO FIND :

Total mangoes left

SOLUTION :

We are knowing that

Oranges ate by Emma = ⅛ × 32 = 32/8 = 4 Orange

Orange ate by Sam = ¼ × 32 = 32/4 = 8 Orange

Now,

Oranges left = 32 - (8 + 4)

Mangoes left = 32 - 12 = 20

Answer 2

$\Large{\bf{\underline{\underline{\red{Given}}}}}$

• Total Oranges = 32

• Emma took ⅛ of oranges

• Sam took ¼ of oranges

$\Large{\bf{\underline{\underline{\red{To \: Find}}}}}$

• Number of Oranges left

$\Large{\bf{\underline{\underline{\red{Solution}}}}}$

According to the question,

Oranges took by Emma :-

$\sf{➡ \: \dfrac{1}{8} \times 32 }$

$\sf{➡\cancel{ \dfrac{32}{8} }}$

$\sf\purple{➡ \: 4 \: oranges}$

∴ Total Oranges taken by Emma are 4 Oranges

Oranges took by Sam :-

$\sf{➡ \: \dfrac{1}{4} \times 32 }$

$\sf{➡\cancel{ \dfrac{32}{4} }}$

$\sf\purple{➡ \: 8 \: oranges}$

∴ Total Oranges taken by Sam are 8 Oranges

_____________________

Now,

Number of Oranges left = Total number of Oranges - ( Total Oranges took by Emma + Total Oranges took by Sam )

By substituting values we get,

$\sf{➡ \: 32 - (4 + 8)}$

$\sf{➡ \: 32 - 12}$

$\sf\pink{➡ \: 20 \: oranges}$

Hence, The Total number of Oranges left are 20 oranges
