Question

diana has 8 duck eggs and 5 geese eggs if she uses 5 duck eggs and 2 geese eggs what is the original number of eggs in a fraction form left with her?

Answer 1

To find the original number of eggs Diana had left after using 5 duck eggs and 2 geese eggs, we need to subtract these amounts from the initial quantities.

The initial number of duck eggs = 8

The initial number of geese eggs = 5

Eggs used:

Duck eggs used = 5

Geese eggs used = 2

Remaining duck eggs = Initial duck eggs - Duck eggs used

Remaining geese eggs = Initial geese eggs - Geese eggs used

Remaining duck eggs = 8 - 5 = 3

Remaining geese eggs = 5 - 2 = 3

Now, the original number of eggs left with her is the sum of the remaining duck eggs and remaining geese eggs:

The original number of eggs left = Remaining duck eggs + Remaining geese eggs

Original number of eggs left = 3 + 3 = 6

So, Diana has 6 eggs left in total. To represent this in fraction form, we can write it as:

The original number of eggs left = 6/1
