Question

On Friday Simon ate three tenths of a kg of cherries. On Saturday, he ate half of a kg of cherries. What amount of cherries are left now if he had one kg of cherries ​

Answer 1

• 1/5 kg

Explanation:

• Initial amount = 1 kg
• Eaten on Friday = 3/10 kg
• Eaten on Saturday = 1/2 kg

Amount of cherries left:

• 1 - (3/10 + 1/2) =

• 1 - 8/10 =
• 2/10 =
• 1/5 kg
