☛Problem

Mr. Antonio baked 72 sweet muffins. He gave ⅜ of it to his neighbourhood and 2/8 were given to his workmates . How many muffins left for him?

✎Solution

Step 1:

First add the two given fractions.

3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8

Step 2:

Second minus the given 72 and 5/8.

72 is a whole number,so put 1 as a denominator.

72/1 - 5/8 = 72/8 - 5/8

The LCD is 8.

72/8 -5/8 =67/8

It is not on the lowest term,so divide it.

67 ÷ 8 = 8 3/8

Final Answer

• The muffins left for Mr.Antonio is 8 3/8.
