Question

Matthew used 1/5 of a box of flour for cooking and 3/4 of the remainder to make bread.The rest of the flour was packed equally into 5 containers. What fraction of the total amount of flour was in each container?

Answer 1

First, we multiply 1/5 by 4, and 3/4 by 5.... So we use 19/20 of the flour already.
There was 1/20 fraction of flour left so divide that by 5 you get- 1/100   There was 1/100 of the flour in each of the 5 containers.
