Chocolate Bar
Manju had chocolate. She gave one-fourth of it to Raji, one-third to Sugatha, and one-sixth to Sheela. She ate the remaining part. How many pieces of chocolate did each get? Write here.
What part of the chocolate did Manju eat?
उत्तर
The number of pieces in the chocolate is 12;
Raji got one-fourth, which means she got 3 pieces;
Sugatha got one-third, which means she got 4 pieces;
Sheela got one-sixth, which means she got 2 pieces;
Manju got the remaining portion.
We can calculate the remaining portion as follows:
`1 - (1/4 + 1/3 + 1/6)`
`= 1 - ((3 + 4 + 2)/12)`
= `1 - 9/12`
= `(12 - 9)/12`
= `3/12`
= `1/4`
and `1/4` of 12 = `1/4 xx 12`
= 3
