Answer 1

I can't see the fractions in your message. Could you tell me what fractions Courtney and Kobe ate?

If the fudge was cut into 5 equal pieces and Courtney ate m of those pieces and Kobe ate n pieces, the amount left is
(5 − m − n) pieces = (5 − m − n)/5 of the whole.

Examples:
- If Courtney ate 2/5 and Kobe ate 1/5 → left = (5 − 2 − 1)/5 = 2/5.
- If Courtney ate 3/5 and Kobe ate 1/5 → left = 1/5.
- If Courtney ate 1/5 and Kobe ate 1/5 → left = 3/5.

Tell me the missing fractions and I’ll give the exact remainder.
