Question

In a shipment of new cookies for a store, 4/12 of the cookies were sugar and 1/5 were oatmeal. The remainder of the cookies were chocolate chip. What fraction of the cookies were chocolate chip?

Answer 1

Answer:

13/15

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of the cookies that are chocolate chip can be determined by solving this equation

1 - ($\frac{4}{12}$ - $\frac{1}{5}$)

1 - $\frac{20 - 12}{60}$

1 - $\frac{8}{60}$

$\frac{60}{60}$ - $\frac{8}{60}$ = $\frac{52}{60}$ = 13/15
