Question

Katy bought a candy bar and shared it with her two sisters. She gave her youngest sister 1/4 of the candy bar. Her older sister received 1/3 of the candy bar. How much of the candy bar did Katy keep?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since the candy bar is just one

Giving 1/4 of it to her younger sister make her left with 3/4 of the candy bar i.e 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Then giving 1/3 of the left over to her elder sister it becomes 3/4 * 1/3 =1/4

Then the remaining candy bar will be 3/4 - 1/4 = 1/2

Then she will be left with 1/2 i.e half of the candy bar.
