leena bakes a loaf of bread. She eats 1/8 of the loaf and gives 1/6 of it to each of her 3 friends. What fraction of the loaf of bread is left

Respuesta :

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Leena eats 1/8 of the bread first.

Now, she gave 1/6 of the bread to EACH of her 3 friends.

So you will need to do 1/6*3, which is 3/6=1/2.

Now you want to do 1/8+1/2 = 1/8+4/8 = 5/8.

This means 5/8 of the bread is gone.

Now you will need to do 1-5/8 = 8/8-5/8=3/8.

Therefore, 3/8 of the bread is left.

I hope this helps!
