Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Mel made a quesadilla. He cut 1/10 of the quesadilla to save for later.
Let the whole portion of the quesadilla be represented as 10/10 = 1
The amount of quesadilla Mel left
= 1 - 1/10
= 9/10
Mel then shared the remaining portion among himself and 2 friends.
The amount if each portion that Mel and his friends got is calculated as:
9/10 ÷ 3 friends
= 9/10 × 1/3
= 3/10
Mel and his friends got 3/10 of the remaining quesadilla.
The fraction of the whole quesadilla(10/10) did each person get is calculated as:
10/10 × 3/10/9/10
= 3/10 ÷ 9/10
= 3/10 × 10/9
= 1/3
