Leena bakes a loaf of bread. She eats 1/8 loaf of bread and give 1/6 of it each of her 3 friends. What fraction of the loaf of bread is left?

1/8 = 3/24

1/6 = 4/24

(24/24) - (3/24 + 12/24) = ?

To find the fraction of the loaf of bread that is left, we need to subtract the amount that Leena ate and the amount that she gave to her friends from the whole loaf.

Leena ate 1/8 of the loaf, and she gave 1/6 of the loaf to each of her 3 friends.

To find the total fraction of bread given to her friends, we multiply the amount she gave to each friend (1/6) by the number of friends (3): (1/6) * 3 = 3/6

Now let's calculate the total amount of bread that was taken:

Leena's share: 1/8
Friends' share: 3/6

To add fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.

Leena's share: (1/8) * 8/8 = 1/8
Friends' share: (3/6) * 4/4 = 12/24

Now we can subtract the total amount taken from the whole loaf to find the fraction of bread left:

Whole loaf - (Leena's share + Friends' share)
= 1 - (1/8 + 12/24)
= 1 - (3/24 + 12/24)
= 1 - (15/24)
= 1 - 15/24

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 24:

1 - 15/24 = 24/24 - 15/24 = 9/24

The fraction of the loaf of bread left is 9/24.
