Question

Five friends each ate 2/12 of cake what fraction of cake is left?

Answer 1

Given

Five friends each ate 2/12 of cake.

Required

we need to find what fraction of cake is left.

Step-by-step explanation

Here we have

part of cake that each friend ate

`=(2)/(12)`

Part of cake eaten by five friends

`5*(2)/(12)=(10)/(12)`

Now part of cake left

`\begin{gathered} =1-(10)/(12)=(12-10)/(12) \\ =(2)/(12) \end{gathered}`

So option A is the correct option.
