Question

Mrs Lim bought some white rice and some brown rice. She cooked an equal amount of white and brown rice. She had 3/4 of the white rice and 3/8 of the brown rice left. What fraction of the rice which Mrs Lim bought was cooked?

Answer 1

Since she cooked 3/4 of the white rice, there is 1/4 of the white rice that is not cooked.  This is equal to 2/8.  2/8+3/8=5/8.  This shows that 3/8 of the rice that she bought was cooked.  Please mark Brainliest!!!
