Question

If $\frac{2}{7}$ of 14 apples are spoilt, then how many are left?

• A. 35
• B. 28
• C. 12
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is D

10

$\frac{2}{7}\text{of}14=\frac{2}{7}\times 14$
$=2\times 2$
$=4$
Therefore, $\frac{2}{7}$ of 14 apples is equal to 4 apples.
Now, if out of 14 apples, 4 are spoilt, then the number of apples left is (14 - 4=) 10 apples.
