Question

Chocolate bar
• Manju had a chocolate. She gave one-fourth of it to Raji, one-third to Sugatha and one-sixth to Sheela. She ate the remaining part. How many pieces of chocolate did each get?




• What part of the chocolate did Manju eat?

Answer 1

Total number of pieces in the chocolate bar = 12

Manju gives one-fourth of the chocolate to Raji.
Number of pieces of chocolate given to Raji = 12 ÷ 4
= 3

Thus, Raji got 3 pieces of chocolate.
Now, Manju gives one-third of the chocolate to Sugatha.
Number of pieces of chocolate given to Sugatha = 12 ÷ 3
= 4

Thus, Sugatha got 4 pieces of chocolate.
Now, Manju gives one-sixth of the chocolate to Sheela.
Number of pieces of chocolate given to Sheela = 12 ÷ 6
= 2
Thus, Sheela got 2 pieces of chocolate.
Total number of pieces of chocolate given to Raji, Sugatha and Sheela = 3 + 4 + 2
= 9
Total number of pieces of chocolate left in the bar = 12 − 9
= 3

As Manju ate the remaining part of the chocolate, she will get 3 pieces of chocolate.
Part of the chocolate eaten by Manju = $\frac{1}{4}$
