Question

Rohan has 39 chocolates with him. He kept $\frac{7}{13}$ to himself and distributed the rest equally among two of his friends. How many did each friend get?

Answer 1

Rohan kept $\frac{7}{13}$ of the total number of chocolate.
Total number of chocolate = 39
$\frac{1}{13}$ of total chocolates = 39 ÷ 13 = 3
No.of chocolates rohan kept = 7 × 3 = 21
Remaining chocolates = 39 - 21 = 18
Number of chocolate each friend gets
= 18 ÷ 2 = 9
