Question

Owen and Bella shared a granola bar. Bella ate 14 of the granola bar. Owen ate 13 of the bar. How much of the granola bar did Owen and Bella leave uneaten? A. 57 B. 124 C. 38 D. 512

Answer 1

Answer: D. $\dfrac5{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of granola bar Owen ate = $\dfrac13$

Fraction of bar Bella ate = $\dfrac14$

Whole bar is considered as 1.

Part of bar left uneaten = $1-\dfrac13-\dfrac14=\dfrac{12-4-3}{12}$

$=\dfrac{5}{12}$

Owen and Bella left $\dfrac5{12}$ of the bar uneaten.

Hence, the correct option is D. $\dfrac5{12}$
