Question

Yuri has 2/7 of a bag of carrots.If she eats half of the carrots, what fraction of the bag of carrots will she have left

Answer 1

It would be 1/7

Because since it’s 2/7, half of 2 is one

The denominator will remain the same, because the 7 is what the whole bag is and the 1 is half of what’s left in the bag afterwards which was 2/7.

I kind of explained it weird, let me know if you need a further explanation.

Answer 2

if she eats half, she'd be left with half then :/

well, what is 1/2 of 2/7? well, is just their product,
`\bf \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{2}{7}\implies \cfrac{1}{7}`
