Nitin made some origami animals .5/8 of them were cranes and 1/6 of the remainder were frogs .the rest were grasshoppers.what fraction of the orgami animals were grasshoppers?

See your following post.
To find the fraction of origami animals that were grasshoppers, we need to first calculate the fractions of cranes and frogs, and then subtract them from 1 to find the fraction of grasshoppers.
Let's go step by step:
Step 1: Find the fraction of cranes.
It is given that 5/8 of the origami animals were cranes.
Step 2: Find the fraction of animals that were not cranes.
To find the fraction of animals that were not cranes, we subtract the fraction of animals that were cranes from 1.
1 - 5/8 = 8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8
Step 3: Find the fraction of frogs.
It is given that 1/6 of the remainder (3/8) were frogs.
To calculate 1/6 of 3/8, we multiply these fractions:
1/6 * 3/8 = 3/48 = 1/16
Step 4: Find the fraction of grasshoppers.
To find the fraction of grasshoppers, we subtract the fraction of cranes and frogs from 1.
1 - 5/8 - 1/16 = 16/16 - 10/16 - 1/16 = 5/16
Therefore, the fraction of origami animals that were grasshoppers is 5/16.
