Question

Keisha makes a large sandwich for a family picnic. She takes 1/2 of the sandwich to the picnic.At the picnic, her family eats 3/8 of the whole sandwich. What fraction of the whole sandwich does Keisha bring back from the picnic?

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The part of sandwich Keisha took to the picnic=$\frac{1}{2}$ of whole sandwich

The part of sandwich ate by family=$\frac{3}{8}$ of whole sandwich.

The part of sandwich Keisha bring back home=$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{8}$

$=\frac{4-3}{8}\\\\=\frac{1}{8}$ of the whole sandwich.

Hence, Keisha bring back $\frac{1}{8}$ part of whole sandwich.

Answer 2

1/8 becaue 1/2 equals 4/8 so if she brought 4/8 with her take away 3/8 that would equal 1/8
