Question

Shana and Clara bought identical chocolate bars after school. Shana ate 3/8 of her chocolate bar and Clara ate 3/4 of hers. If Clara gave the rest of her chocolate bar to Shana, how much chocolate would Shana have all together.

Answer 1

Answer:
`(7)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given

Shana ate
`(3)/(8)` of her chocolate

Clara ate
`(3)/(4)` of her chocolate

Chocolate left with Shana is

`\Rightarrow 1-(3)/(8)=(5)/(8)`

Chocolate left with Clara is

`\Rightarrow 1-(3)/(4)=(1)/(4)`

Clara gave her remaining to the Shana

Now Shana has

`\Rightarrow (5)/(8)+(1)/(4)=(5+2)/(8)\\\\\Rightarrow (7)/(8)\ \text{of a full chocolate}`
