Question

A kid ate 2 biscuits from a pack of 10 biscuits. What fraction of the total number of biscuits is he left with?

• A. $\frac{2}{10}$
• B. $\frac{4}{5}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. $\frac{1}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{4}{5}$

We can visually represent the fraction of biscuits eaten as shown here, where yellow portion represents the fraction of biscuits eaten and green portion represents the fraction of biscuits left.

The fraction of biscuits left = $\frac{8}{10}$
But we also see that there are 5 major divisions in the figure, so the fraction of biscuits left can also be represented as $\frac{4}{5}$.
