Question

Mrs. Gaston brought doughnuts to share with the other teachers. There wre 25 other teachers in the school. If the teachers ate 21/24 of the doughnuts, what fraction of the dough nuts remain?

Answer 1

Answer:

Fraction of the dough nuts remains =  $\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total numbers of doughnuts is = x

The doughnuts ate by the teachers = $\frac{21}{24} x$

The  doughnuts remains = total doughnuts - doughnuts ate by the teachers

⇒ $x - \frac{21}{24} x$ = $\frac{x}{8}$

⇒ Fraction of the  doughnuts remains = $\frac{1}{8}$

Therefore fraction of the dough nuts remains =  $\frac{1}{8}$
