Question:

Megan has \(\frac{13}{16}\) of a cake left. If her dad eats \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the remaining cake, what proportion of the total cake is left?

A \(\frac{13}{24}\)
explanation

Fraction of cake left : \(\frac{13}{16}\)
Fraction of cake eaten by Dad : \(\frac{1}{3}\) × \(\frac{13}{16}\) = \(\frac{13}{48}\)
The amount of cake left : Fraction left - Fraction eaten
Now we have : \(\frac{13}{16}\) - \(\frac{13}{48}\) = \(\frac{39-13}{48}\) = \(\frac{26}{48}\) = \(\frac{13}{24}\)

The first app that did not constantly prompt me to pay for a subscription. Haven’t taken test yet but the questions are all in line with other study aids from ATI
