Question

Elliot has 4 1/3 candy bars. He gives 2/3 of a candy bar to Sara and 1/3 of a candy bar to Bill. How much does Elliot have left? (Work it out)

Answer 1

10/3 or 3 1/3

Explanation:

4 1/3= 13/3 as a mixed fraction

he gives 2/3 to sara:

13/3 - 2/2= 11/3

then he gives 1/3 to bill:

11/3-1/3= 10/3

he has 10/3 which is equal to 3 1/3
