so 2 ate by Vanessa + 1 slice ate by Ishaan make 3 + 1 slice reaining so total was 4 slices
and from this result that was eaten 3 slices so this mean that this is a 3/4 part eaten

Answer:


(3)/(4) part of cake was eaten

Explanation:

Given: Vanessa ate 2 slices of cake. ishaan ate 1 slice. there were 1 slice remaining.

To Find: If all the slices were the same size, what fraction of the cake was eaten.

Solution:

Slices of cake eaten by Vanessa =
2

Slices of cake eaten by Ishan =
1

Slices remaining =
1

Total number of Slices =
\text{Slices of cake eaten by Vanessa}+\text{Slices of cake eaten by Ishan}+\text{Slices remaining}

=
2+1+1

=
4

Total number of Slices Eaten =
\text{Slices of cake eaten by Vanessa}+\text{Slices of cake eaten by Ishan}

=
2+1

=
3

Fraction of Slice eaten =
\frac{\text{Total number of slices eaten}}{\text{Total number of slice}}

=
(3)/(4)

Therefore the fraction of slice eaten is
(3)/(4)
