Question

Alice ate 3/8 of her sandwich. Later , for a snack , ate another 3/8 of the sandwich write an addition sentence that shows how much of the sandwich Alice ate. Suppose Alice ate the same amount of her sandwich at 3 different times instead of 2. Write an an addition sentence to show the amount she ate as a sum of 3 fractions

Answer 1

(i)
`(3)/(8) +(3)/(8)` (ii)
`(3)/(8) +(3)/(8)+(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

Alice ate 3/8 of her sandwich

Later , for a snack , ate another 3/8

The Addition Statement is derived by adding the first part she ate to the second part of the sandwich

i.e.
`(3)/(8) +(3)/(8)`

If she ate the same amount of her sandwich at 3 different times

The addition Statement is given as:
`(3)/(8) +(3)/(8)+(3)/(8)`
