Question

mrs smith baked 40 turnovers. Her son ate 1/8 of the turnovers and her husband ate 1/7 of what was left. How many were left after her husband finished?

Answer 1

the answer is 30 because 1/8 of 40 is 5 so 40-5 = 35 and 1/7 of 35 is 5 so 35-5 = 30

Answer 2

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Total turnover = 40

Son = 1/8×40 = 1×5 = 5

Amount left after son finished = 40-5 = 35

Husband = 1/7×35 = 1×5 = 5

Amount left after husband finished = 35-5 = 30
