Question

Madhavi eats $\frac{1}{4}$ of a chocolate divided into $20$ parts. Then she divides another one in $5$ equal parts and eats $3$ of them. What is the total fraction of chocolates that she has eaten?

• A. $3\frac{4}{5}$
• B. $5\frac{3}{5}$
• C. $1\frac{8}{5}$
• D. $7\frac{8}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $5\frac{3}{5}$

Number of parts eaten from the first chocolate $=\frac{1}{4}\times 20=5$ parts
Fraction of chocolate eaten from the second chocolate $=\frac{3}{5}$
Total chocolates eaten by her $=5+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{25+3}{5}=\frac{28}{5}=5\frac{3}{5}$

Therefore, she has $5\frac{3}{5}$ eaten of the chocolate.
