Answer:

The size of the cupcake and the size of the cake differ, so when your saying 1/5 of the cupcake, 1/5 of a cupcake is not the same as 1/5 of the cake . Idk if this will help, but I gave you a suggestion!

A factory produces some batteries daily. 7/8 of the batteries are packaged immediately. 2/3 of the

frozen [14]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of batteries produced daily be represented by x.

7/8 of the batteries are packaged immediately.

So the total number of packaged batteries = $\frac{7x}{8}$

Remaining batteries = $x-\frac{7x}{8}$

= $\frac{x}{8}$

Two third of the remaining batteries are sent to charity.

So the total number of batteries sent to charity= $\frac{2}{3} * \frac{x}{8}$

= $\frac{x}{12}$

Remaining batteries are faulty.

So the total number of faulty batteries = $\frac{x}{8} - \frac{x}{12}$

= $\frac{3x - 2x}{24}$

= $\frac{x}{24}$

So the faction of batteries which are faulty =

= $\frac{x}{24} \div x$

= $\frac{1}{24}$
