Vanessa ate 2 slices of cake. ishaan ate 1 slice. if there were 1 slice remaining and all the slices were the same size, what fraction of the cake was eaten?

Respuesta :

so 2 ate by Vanessa + 1 slice ate by Ishaan make 3 + 1 slice reaining so total was 4 slices 
and from this result that was eaten 3 slices so this mean that this is a 3/4 part eaten 

hope this will help you

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] part of cake was eaten

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Vanessa ate 2 slices of cake. ishaan ate 1 slice. there were 1 slice remaining.

To Find: If all the slices were the same size, what fraction of the cake was eaten.

Solution:

Slices of cake eaten by Vanessa = [tex]2[/tex]

Slices of cake eaten by Ishan =  [tex]1[/tex]

Slices remaining                   =   [tex]1[/tex]

Total number of Slices     =    [tex]\text{Slices of cake eaten by Vanessa}+\text{Slices of cake eaten by Ishan}+\text{Slices remaining}[/tex]

                                           =  [tex]2+1+1[/tex]

                                           =   [tex]4[/tex]

Total number of Slices Eaten = [tex]\text{Slices of cake eaten by Vanessa}+\text{Slices of cake eaten by Ishan}[/tex]

                                                 = [tex]2+1[/tex]

                                                 = [tex]3[/tex]

Fraction of Slice eaten   =   [tex]\frac{\text{Total number of slices eaten}}{\text{Total number of slice}}[/tex]

                                        = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Therefore the fraction of slice eaten is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
