Question

Three friends had dinner at a restaurant. When the bill was received, Roopa paid 2/3 as much as Shilpa paid and Silpa paid ½ as much as Deepa paid. What fraction of the bill did Shilpa pay?
A. 15/24
B. 12/31
C. 3/11
D. 1/3

Answer 1

1Deepa paid = x

Shilpa paid = x/2

Roopa paid = x/3

Total bill = x + x/2 + x/3 = (6x + 3x + 2x)/6  = 11x/6

Fraction of the bill Shilpa paid  =  x/2      = 3 /11

                                                        11x/6
