can anyone please answer and explain this

A little monkey had 75 peaches.

Each day, he kept a fraction of his peaches, gave the rest away, and then ate one.
These are the fractions he decided to keep:

1/2,1/4,3/4,3/5,5/6,11/15

In which order did he use the fractions so that he was left with just one peach at the end?

75 * 11/15 = 55 - 1 = 54
54 * 5/6 = 45 - 1 = 44
44 * 3/4 = 33 - 1 = 32
32 * 1/2 = 16 - 1 = 15
15 * 3/5 = 9 - 1 = 8
8 * 1/4 = 2 - 1 = 1

Amazing working outs and I am surprised how good you have done it. It took me ten try's to complete so I think you are really great at maths. I learnt about this in class today.
