Three children shared a basket of mangoes in such a way that the first child took 14 1 4 of the mangoes and the second 34 3 4 of the remainder. What fractio...

Answer Details

You can use any whole numbers (eg. 1. 2. 3) to represent all the mangoes in the basket.
If the first child takes $\frac{1}{4}$ it will remain 1 - $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$
Next, the second child takes $\frac{3}{4}$ of the remainder
which is $\frac{3}{4}$ i.e. find $\frac{3}{4}$ of $\frac{3}{4}$
= $\frac{3}{4}$ x $\frac{3}{4}$
= $\frac{9}{16}$
the fraction remaining now = $\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{9}{16}$
= $\frac{12?9}{16}$
= $\frac{3}{16}$
