Answer 1

Answer:

2/8 ans

Step-by-step explanation:

friends in birthday party= 7

whole cake= 8/8

cake eaten by 3 friends= 5/8

cake eaten by 2 other friends =1/8

cake left for remaining 2 friends= 8/8-5/8-1/8= 2/8

Answer 2

Answer:

let us take the whole cake as 1

= 5/8 + 1/8 = 6/8

Fraction of cake eaten

Fraction of cake remaining for the other two friends

= 1 minus 6/8

8/8 minus 6/8

= 8 minus 6 upon 8

= 2/8

=1/4
