Shana and Clara bought identical chocolate bars after school. Shana ate 3/8 of her chocolate bar and Clara ate 3/4 of hers. If Clara gave the rest of her chocolate bar to Shana, how much chocolate would Shana have all together.

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shana ate [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of her chocolate

Clara ate [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of her chocolate

Chocolate left with Shana is

[tex]\Rightarrow 1-\dfrac{3}{8}=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]

Chocolate left with Clara is

[tex]\Rightarrow 1-\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

Clara gave her remaining to the Shana

Now Shana has

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{5+2}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{7}{8}\ \text{of a full chocolate}[/tex]
