The fractional part of the cookies that Bohan receives can be determined by following these steps:

1. Ram gave 1/2 of the cookies to Ravi. This means that Ravi received 1/2 of the total cookies.

2. Ravi then gave 1/4 of his share to Bohan. Since Ravi received 1/2 of the cookies, we can calculate 1/4 of 1/2 by multiplying the fractions: (1/4) * (1/2) = 1/8.

Therefore, Bohan received 1/8 of the total cookies.

Answer:


\textsf{Fractional part of cookies do bohan get is }(1)/(8)

Explanation:

Let's break down the problem step by step:


\textsf{Ram has a box of cookies.}


\textsf{Ram gives } (1)/(2)\textsf{ of the cookies to his friend Ravi.}


\textsf{Ravi now has } (1)/(2)\textsf{ of the cookies that Ram originally had.}


\sf \textsf{Ravi gives } (1)/(4)\textsf{ of his share to his friend Bohan.}

To find the fractional part of cookies that Bohan gets, we need to calculate what fraction of the original box of cookies Ram had ends up with Bohan:


\sf \textsf{Fraction of cookies Ravi gets from Ram }= (1)/(2)


\sf \textsf{Fraction of cookies Ravi gives to Bohan = } (1)/(4)

To find the fraction of cookies Bohan gets from the original box that Ram had, we multiply these two fractions:


\sf \textsf{Fraction of cookies Bohan gets = } (1)/(2)* (1)/(4)=(1)/(8)

So, Bohan gets
(1)/(8) the cookies from the original box that Ram had.
