Question

claire picked some apples. She used 2/5 of the apples to make jam. She gave 1/3 of the remainder to her neighbor. What fraction of apples did she give to her neighbor.

Answer 1

Hi there, For this problem the correct answer is: Each neighbor gets 1/5 of an apple! Here’s how 1 - 2/5 = 5/5 5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5 1/3 x 3/5 = 3/16 Let’s simplify 3 /16 to 1/5 I am pretty sure this is the answer.
