Question

Sanjeev ate 1/6 of cake he gave to his frend the remainder 1/5 how much did he keep​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$= 1 - ( \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{5} )$

$= 1 - ( \frac{5}{30} + \frac{6}{30} )$

$= 1 - \frac{11}{30}$

$= \frac{30}{30} - \frac{11}{30}$

$= \frac{19}{30}$

So, he keeps $\frac{19}{30}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Sanjeev kept 19/30 of his cake.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, if Sanjeev ate 1/6 of the cake there will be 5/6 of the cake left over.

He gave 1/5 of this 5/6 to his friend.

He did not give 1/5 of the entire cake, he gave 1/5 of the remainder of his cake, which was 5/6.

To solve this, we must first convert both fractions to the same denominator.

1/5 and 5/6 becomes 6/30 and 25/30

He gave away 6/30 of this 25/30

It is now clear that we must take away how much he gave away from the remainder of the cake.

25/30 subtract 6/30 becomes 19/30

We cannot simplify this.

Therefore, Sanjeev kept 19/30 of his cake.
