Question

Kartik ate $\frac{3}{5}$ part of an apple and Bharat ate the remaining part of the apple. What fraction of the apple did Bharat eat? Who had the larger share and by how much? [2 MARKS]

Answer 1

Each answer: 1 Mark

Given that:
Fraction of the apple Kartik ate $=\frac{3}{5}$

Fraction of the apple uneaten $=1-\frac{3}{5}$

$=\frac{5-3}{5}$

$=\frac{2}{5}$

This part was eaten by his brother Bharath

$\therefore$ Bharath ate $\frac{2}{5}$th part of the apple.

Comparing two fractions we have

$\frac{3}{5}\&\frac{2}{5}$

Clearly $\frac{3}{5}>\frac{2}{5}$

$\Rightarrow$ Karthik had the larger share which was larger by $\frac{3}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{5}$.
