Question

Tom has $6$ chocolate bars. He gives one to John and another to Chester. He keeps the rest for himself . What fraction of the chocolate bars did he give away?

Answer 1

Tom has chocolate bars = $6$

Number of chocolate bar gives to John =$1$

Number of chocolate bar gives to Chester = $1$

Number of chocolate he keeps himself = $(6-1-1)=6-2=4$

Now, the fraction of chocolate bars did he give away = $\frac{numberofchocolatebarsthathegiveaway}{totalnumberofchocolatebars}$

$=\frac{2}{6}(dividebycommonfactor2)=\frac{1}{3}.$

Hence, the fraction of chocolate bars did he give away will be =$\frac{1}{3}$.
