Question

My mother divided an apple into $4$ equal parts. She gave me $2$ parts and my brother one part. How much apple did she give to both us together?

Answer 1

Let me me be $x$ and my brother be $y$

The part apple $x$ have $2$(part)

The part apple $y$ have $1$(part)

The part of apple mother divide is $4$(whole)

We know that $Fraction=\frac{Part}{Whole}$

Hence, the fraction of apple of $x$ is $\frac{2}{4}$

Hence, the fraction of apple of $y$ is $\frac{1}{4}$

To find the total apple gave to both

Consider $x+y$

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{4}+\frac{1}{4} \\ \frac{2+1}{4} \\ \frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the total apple gave to both of us is $\frac{3}{4}$
