Question 7
Ritu ate $\frac{3}{5}$ part of an apple and the remaining apple was eaten by her brother Somu. How much part of the apple did somu eat? Who had the larger share? By how much?

Answer 1

$\text{The part of an apple eaten by Ritu}=\frac{\text{3}}{\text{5}}\text{The part of an apple eaten by Somu}=1-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{5-3}{5}=\frac{2}{5}$
$\text{Comparing the parts of apple eaten by both Ritu and Somu}\frac{\text{3}}{\text{5}}>\frac{2}{5}\text{Larger share will be more by}\frac{\text{3}}{\text{5}}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{5}\text{part}$
$\text{Thus, Ritu's part is}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{5}}\text{more than Somu's part}$.
