Answers
Answer:
3/11
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6/11 + 2/11 = 8/11
- 11/11 - 8/11 = 3/11
Given:
A student has read part of a book yesterday and part of that book for today.
To Find:
The portion of the book which is remained to read.
Solution:
The given problem can be solved by using mathematical operations on fractions.
1. Consider the book as an entire part. (Total part of the book to be read = 1).
2. It is given that a student has covered part of the book yesterday, for the next day the student has managed to read part of the book. The Total part of the book covered by the student is:
= > 6/11 + 2/11 ( addition of fractions),
= > 8/11 ( They can be added directly as the denominators are equal).
3. The remaining part of the book which is left for reading is formulated as:
= > 1 – 8/11, ( subtraction of the fractions)
= > 11/11 – 8/11 ( making the denominators equal) ,
= > 3/11.
Therefore, the remaining portion which is to be covered is 3/11.
