Question

Madhavi eats one full bar of chocolate. Then she divides another one into 5 equal parts and eats 3 of them. What is the fraction of chocolate that has been eaten by Madhavi?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{8}{5}$

Madhavi ate one full chocolate and she divided another one into five equal parts and ate 3 of them
Total number of chocolates eaten = One full chocolate + three parts out of the five parts of the chocolate
$=1+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{5+3}{5}=\frac{8}{5}$
Therefore, the fraction of one chocolate that has been eaten by Madhavi is $\frac{8}{5}$
