Elijah is given a birthday cake. He is rather selfish and does not share this cake with anyone
else. On the first day he eats 2/5 of the cake and on the second day he eats 3/7 of the cake. What
fraction of the cake is now left?


Sagot :

Answer:

6/35

Step-by-step explanation:

so he ate 2/5 first day, and the 3/7 the other day, so we need to add the 3/7 to 2/5.

they had to have the same number as their denominator.

so we gonna multiply (5) (3) and (5) (7) and also (7) (2) and (7) (5)

then we have 14/35 and 15/35 so we can add them together to find out 29/35

then we minus it from 35/35 to find out how much is left

35/35 - 29/35 is 6/35 , which is our answer
