Question

rohan had 36 pens . he gave 15 of them to mike and 11 of them to karan . what fraction of his original 36 pens does rohan have left ? write two equivalent fractions for that amount ?

Answer 1

Answer: 10/36 or 5/8

Explanation:

Let’s start by solving how many pens Rohan has left. 36-11-15=36-26=10. Rohan has 10 pens left. Now to solve the fraction of pens Rohan has left, we divide our 10 by 36, or 10/36. Another fraction of this could be 5/18, because both the denominator and numerator have 2 as a factor.
