Solution
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
