Question

In a cookie jar, 1/5 of the cookies are chocolate chip and 1/2 of the rest are peanut butter. what fraction of all the cookies are peanut butter?

Answer 1

Answer: 3/10

Step-by-step explanation: Convert given fractions into like terms. In this case 1/5 becomes 2/10 and 1/2 becomes 5/10. Add them up and you get 7/10. Subtract from the total of 10/10 and the result is 3/10. Since the final fraction can't be simplified, this is the final answer.
