What operation with fractions is this question asking you to perform?

Question

Jake has a candy bar. If Josh eats 1/5, how much of the candy bar is left?
Multiplication
Subtraction
Addition

Answer 1

The question is asking you to perform subtraction. You need to determine how much of the candy bar is left after Josh eats \( \frac{1}{5} \) of it. You would start with the whole candy bar (which can be represented as 1) and then subtract \( \frac{1}{5} \) from it.

So the operation is subtraction.
