Grandpa Mick opened a pint of ice crew. He gave his youngest grandchild 1/5 of the ice cream and his middle grandchild 1/4 of the remaining ice cream. Then, he gave his oldest grandchild 1/3 of the ice cream that was left after serving the others. Who got the most ice cream?

What fraction of the pint of ice cream will be left if grandpa mick serves himself the same amount as the second grandchild?

Think of it this way. 1/5= 20%, 1/4=25% and 1/3= 33% (about)

Also, if the grandpa got the same amount as the second child, that would mean between the two, they consumed 50% of the ice cream. Add the 20%, then subtract that result from 100% to get the percent the oldest got and convert it to fraction form.

1 pint of ice cream = 100%

minus 1/5 or 20% - 20 = 80%
minus 1/4 or the REMAINING
80% not the original whole
pint 80-1/4 = 60
(20)
The REMAINING 60% is
divided 3 ways 60/3=20

everyone gets the same!

I got the oldest grandson

To determine who got the most ice cream, we need to calculate the fractions each grandchild received.

First, let's calculate the fractions each grandchild received from the initial pint of ice cream:

1. youngest grandchild: 1/5 of the ice cream.
2. middle grandchild: 1/4 of the remaining ice cream after the youngest grandchild was served.
3. oldest grandchild: 1/3 of the remaining ice cream after the youngest and middle grandchild were served.

To simplify the calculation, let's assume the initial pint of ice cream is divided into 60 equal parts (common denominator of 5, 4, and 3).

1. The youngest grandchild received 1/5 * 60 = 12 parts. So, there are 60 - 12 = 48 parts remaining.
2. The middle grandchild received 1/4 * 48 = 12 parts. So, there are 48 - 12 = 36 parts remaining.
3. The oldest grandchild received 1/3 * 36 = 12 parts.

Therefore, each grandchild received an equal amount of ice cream, which is 12 parts.

Now, let's calculate the fraction of the pint of ice cream left if Grandpa Mick serves himself the same amount as the second grandchild:

The second grandchild received 12 parts of the initial 60 parts.

So, if Grandpa Mick serves himself the same amount, he would also take 12 parts.

Therefore, there will be 60 - 12 - 12 = 36 parts of ice cream left in the pint.

To express this as a fraction, we divide the remaining parts by the total initial parts:

Fraction of the pint of ice cream left: 36/60.

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 12:

After simplification, the fraction of the pint of ice cream left is: 3/5.

So, if Grandpa Mick serves himself the same amount as the second grandchild, there will be 3/5 of the pint of ice cream left.
