I have 20 chocolates if somebody eats 2/5 and another person eats 1/5 how many chocolates are left
what is
20 - (2/5)(20) - (1/5)(20) ?
or they ate 3/5 of your chocs
so you have 2/5 of 20 left
To find out how many chocolates are left, you need to subtract the amount of chocolates consumed from the total number of chocolates.
First, let's calculate how many chocolates the first person ate:
20 chocolates * 2/5 = 8 chocolates.
Next, let's calculate how many chocolates the second person ate:
20 chocolates * 1/5 = 4 chocolates.
Now, let's subtract the sum of chocolates consumed from the total number of chocolates:
20 chocolates - (8 chocolates + 4 chocolates) = 20 chocolates - 12 chocolates = 8 chocolates.
Therefore, there are 8 chocolates left.
To solve this problem, we will need to subtract the chocolates eaten from the total number of chocolates.
First, let's calculate how many chocolates each person eats:
The first person eats 2/5 of the chocolates, which is equal to (2/5) * 20 = 8 chocolates.
The second person eats 1/5 of the chocolates, which is equal to (1/5) * 20 = 4 chocolates.
Now, let's subtract the chocolates eaten from the total number of chocolates:
Total number of chocolates - Chocolates eaten = Chocolates left
20 chocolates - (8 chocolates + 4 chocolates) = 20 - 12 = 8 chocolates.
Therefore, after the first person eats 2/5 and the second person eats 1/5 of the chocolates, there will be 8 chocolates left.
