Vanessa ate 2 slices of cake. ishaan ate 1 slice. if there were 1 slice remaining and all the slices were the same size, what fraction of the cake was eaten?
so 2 ate by Vanessa + 1 slice ate by Ishaan make 3 + 1 slice reaining so total was 4 slices
and from this result that was eaten 3 slices so this mean that this is a 3/4 part eaten
hope this will help you
Answer:
\(\frac{3}{4}\) part of cake was eaten
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Vanessa ate 2 slices of cake. ishaan ate 1 slice. there were 1 slice remaining.
To Find: If all the slices were the same size, what fraction of the cake was eaten.
Solution:
Slices of cake eaten by Vanessa = \(2\)
Slices of cake eaten by Ishan = \(1\)
Slices remaining = \(1\)
Total number of Slices = \(\text{Slices of cake eaten by Vanessa}+\text{Slices of cake eaten by Ishan}+\text{Slices remaining}\)
= \(2+1+1\)
= \(4\)
Total number of Slices Eaten = \(\text{Slices of cake eaten by Vanessa}+\text{Slices of cake eaten by Ishan}\)
= \(2+1\)
= \(3\)
Fraction of Slice eaten = \(\frac{\text{Total number of slices eaten}}{\text{Total number of slice}}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Therefore the fraction of slice eaten is \(\frac{3}{4}\)
