Question

an orange was divided into 10 equal section. lily ate 4 sections. manny and Emma ate the remaining section. what fraction of the orange did manny and emma eat?

Answer 1

After Lily ate 4 sections of an orange divided into 10 equal sections, Manny and Emma ate 1/6 of the remaining section.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out how many sections were left after Lily ate 4 sections. Since the orange was divided into 10 equal sections and Lily ate 4, there are 10 - 4 = 6 sections remaining.

Next, Manny and Emma both ate the remaining section, which means they ate 1 out of the 6 sections. We can represent this as a fraction by writing 1/6.

Therefore, Manny and Emma ate 1/6 of the orange.

Answer 2

Emma and Manny ate 3/10ths of the orange

Step-by-step explanation:

Lily ate 4 sections so that means 6/10ths of the orange is left.

Emma and Manny want to share the rest of the orange equally. So divide 6 by 2 and get 3. So 3/10ths for each of them.
