Question

If I eat three-eighths of a candy bar and give one-eighth of it to my friend, how much do I have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{8}(or \: 1) - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$

$\frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{4}{8}$

answer= 4/8

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You ate $\frac{3}{8}$ of a candy bar.

And you have gave $\frac{1}{8}$ of the candy bar to a friend.

Altogether, you have ate and given to a friend,

$\frac{3}{8} +\frac{1}{8} =\frac{4}{8}$

Now let's find how much have left now,

$1-\frac{4}{8}$

$\frac{8}{8} -\frac{4}{8}$

$\frac{4}{8}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

Hope this helps you.
