roy gave 1/5 of his mangoes to his sister and 8/15 to his uncle and kept the remember. what fraction of his mangoes did he keep for himself?
Um, did u mean remainder?
I think she did
I’m not sure
So Roy gave away 1/5 + 8/15
= 3/15 + 8/15
= 11/15
which means he has 4/15 of his mangoes left
To find out what fraction of mangoes Roy kept for himself, we need to subtract the fractions he gave away from 1 (the whole).
Roy gave away 1/5 to his sister and 8/15 to his uncle.
First, we need to find a common denominator for 5 and 15, which is 15.
1/5 * 3/3 = 3/15
8/15 * 1/1 = 8/15
Now we can subtract the fractions:
1 - (3/15 + 8/15) = 1 - 11/15
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 15.
1 - 11/15 = 15/15 - 11/15 = 4/15
So, Roy kept 4/15 of his mangoes for himself.
