Question

Jenn and David shared a candy bar. Jenn ate three tenths. David ate four tenths. How much is left?A. 1/10B. 3/10C. 1/2D. 7/10

Answer 1

To answer this question, we have that:

1. Jenn ate 3/10 of a candy bar.

2. David ate 4/10.

The amount of candy that is left is:

`(10)/(10)-(3)/(10)-(4)/(10)=(10)/(10)-(7)/(10)=(3)/(10)`

We have that the total is 10/10 = 1. We used fractions with the same denominator so we can only need to subtract the numerators. We need to subtract the total amount eaten by Jenn and David (3/10 + 4/10 = 7/10).

Therefore, the left candy is equal to 3/10 (option B).
