Question

Luke has 1/5 of a package of dried apricots. He divides the dried apricots equally into 4 small bags. Luke gives one of the bags to a friend and keeps the other three bags for himself. What fraction of the original package of dried apricots did Luke keep for himself?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/80

Step-by-step explanation:

If one fifth of apricots are split into 4 parts, each bag has 1/5 * 1/4 of the original apricots

1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20

Luke keeps 3/4 of those so that's

3/4 * 1/20 = 3/80
