Question

Trevor, James, and Will were each given a candy bar. Trevor ate 7/12 of his and Will ate 20% of his. If James ate more than Will and less than Trevor, what amount could James have eaten?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Turn Trevor and Will’s amounts into decimals to compare: 20% = 0.20 and 7/12 = 0.5083 rounded. When the answer choices are converted into decimals, 2/7 = 0.2871 is the only value between 0.20 and 0.5083.

Question

The ogre under the bridge eats $\frac{4}{5}$ of a pizza and then throws the rest of the pizza to the rats. The rats eat $\frac{3}{4}$ of what is left. What fraction of the pizza is left when the rats are done?
