no,
you found how many are gone, it asked for how many are left
1/3 + 1/2 = 5/6
so 1/6 is left and 1/6 of 5000 are left, that is, 833 1/3 of them are left
Strange that they wouldn't have it come out exactly, weird to have thirds of candies.
Answer: 1/3 *5,000 + 2/4 * 5,000
you found how many are gone, it asked for how many are left
1/3 + 1/2 = 5/6
so 1/6 is left and 1/6 of 5000 are left, that is, 833 1/3 of them are left
Strange that they wouldn't have it come out exactly, weird to have thirds of candies.
First, let's calculate the amount of candy Johnny ate. We know that he ate 1/3 of the total candies. To find out how many pieces of candy that is, we multiply 1/3 by 5,000:
1/3 * 5,000 = 5,000/3 = 1,666.67 pieces of candy
Next, let's calculate the amount of candy Johnny gave to his friends. We know that he gave them 2/4 of the total candies. To find out how many pieces of candy that is, we multiply 2/4 by 5,000:
2/4 * 5,000 = 10,000/4 = 2,500 pieces of candy
Now, let's add the amount of candy Johnny ate and the amount he gave to his friends:
1,666.67 + 2,500 = 4,166.67 pieces of candy
Finally, let's find out how many pieces of candy Johnny has left by subtracting this amount from the total number of candies he started with:
5,000 - 4,166.67 = 833.33 pieces of candy
So, Johnny has approximately 833.33 pieces of candy left.
