Question 1 Report
Three children shared a basket of mangoes in such a way that the first child took \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the mangoes and the second \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the remainder. What fraction of the mangoes did the third child take?
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 14 it will remain 1 - 14 = 34
Next, the second child takes 34 of the remainder
which is 34 i.e. find 34 of 34
= 34 x 34
= 916
the fraction remaining now = 34 - 916
= 12−916
= 316
