Question

Joanne slices a large banana bread into 10 pieces. There are 2 adults and 2 children who get a piece of banana bread. The rest of the pieces will be donated to the homeless. What fraction of the banana bread will be donated?

Answer 1

Answer:

6/10 or 3/5(the simplified one)

Step-by-step explanation:

first we should look at how many people gets the bananna bread and how many they took in total.

The passage said there are 2 adults and 2 children, so there are 4 people.

Since each person gets 1 bread, we could know it is 4 * 1, which is 4 and that is the total of how many they took.

When we find out how many bread is took, we have to find how many bread remains.

10-4=6, so there are 6 breads left and that means 6/10 of the whole bread is donated.

we can  even simplify it. 6/10 could be simpligied to 3/5.
