Question

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?

Answer 1

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
