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

3 * (1/6) = 3/6 = 4/8

(1/8) + (4/8) = 5/8

(8/8) - (5/8) = ?

3/8

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

Leena ate 1/8 of the loaf.

She gave 1/6 of the loaf to each of her 3 friends, so she gave a total of 3 * 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2 of the loaf.

Adding the fractions that Leena ate and gave away, we have 1/8 + 1/2 = 4/8 + 4/8 = 8/8 = 1 whole loaf.

Therefore, the fraction of the loaf of bread that is left is 1 - 1 = 0/1, or simply 0.

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

Leena ate 1/8 of the loaf, so we subtract 1/8 from the whole loaf:
1 - 1/8 = 7/8

Next, Leena gave 1/6 of the loaf to each of her 3 friends. Therefore, she gave a total of 3 * 1/6 = 1/2 of the loaf to her friends.

To find the fraction left, we need to subtract the fraction given to her friends from the remaining fraction after she ate it:
7/8 - 1/2 = 14/16 - 8/16 = 6/16

Simplifying the fraction, we get:
6/16 = 3/8

So, the fraction of the loaf of bread that is left is 3/8.
