ms ganston bought donuts to share with the other teacher there are 25 other teacher if the teacher ate 21 out od 24 of the donuts what fraction of the donuts remain
3/24 = 1/8
To find the fraction of donuts that remain, we need to first calculate the number of donuts that were eaten. We know that there were 24 donuts in total, and the teachers ate 21 of them.
To find the number of donuts that remain, we subtract the number of donuts eaten from the total:
24 donuts - 21 donuts = 3 donuts
So, there are 3 donuts remaining.
To express this as a fraction, we need to compare the number of remaining donuts to the original total number of donuts.
The fraction representing the remaining donuts is 3/24.
However, it is always a good practice to simplify fractions. In this case, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
Dividing 3 by 3 gives us 1, and dividing 24 by 3 gives us 8.
So, the simplified fraction representing the remaining donuts is 1/8.
