Please use appropriate school subjects for your questions. I have updated the school subject of this question to "fractions". Thank you.
Um aren’t you supposed to help me?
question 1 is b
question 2 is d
Can you show the steps?
ok. i found out that 5/6 is = 50 mins and I added the half an hour (30 mins) and added to that the 1/6 (10 mins) all together to get 90 which i subtracted 60 mins from 90 mins to get 30 so 1 hour 30 is the answer. thats how i did question 2. please wait for question 1 while i type
so question 1 is it was cut into 8 slices so i took the fraction 1/4 and made it into an addable fraction by making the 4 an 8 so i also doubled the 1 to a 2. then i added on the 3/8 fraction onto the 2/8 fraction to get 5/8 of the apple eaten. I hope this helps explain
Thanks
