Question

Keisha makes a large sandwich for a family picnic. She takes 1/2 of the sandwich to the picnic.At the picnic, her family eats 3/8 of the whole sandwich. What fraction of the whole sandwich does Keisha bring back from the picnic?

Answer 1

1/8 becaue 1/2 equals 4/8 so if she brought 4/8 with her take away 3/8 that would equal 1/8

Answer 2

Answer:
`(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

The part of sandwich Keisha took to the picnic=
`(1)/(2)` of whole sandwich

The part of sandwich ate by family=
`(3)/(8)` of whole sandwich.

The part of sandwich Keisha bring back home=
`(1)/(2)-(3)/(8)`

`=(4-3)/(8)\\\\=(1)/(8)` of the whole sandwich.

Hence, Keisha bring back
`(1)/(8)` part of whole sandwich.
