To find the fraction of the apples that were eaten, we need to calculate the difference between the number of apples that Sharon brought to the picnic and the number of apples that were left.
Sharon brought 12 apples to the picnic, and 2 apples were left, so the number of apples that were eaten can be found by subtracting 2 from 12:
12 - 2 = 10
Therefore, 10 apples were eaten.
To find the fraction, we divide the number of apples eaten by the total number of apples brought to the picnic:
10 รท 12
This can be simplified by finding a common factor for both numbers. In this case, there is no common factor other than 1. So, the fraction remains as:
10/12
Therefore, the fraction of the apples that were eaten is 10/12.
