Question

There is 5/6 of an apple pie left from dinner. Tomorrow, victor plans to eat 1/6 of the pie that was left. How much of the whole pie will be left after he eats tomorrow?

Answer 1

5/6 - 1/6 = 4/6 reduced to 2/3

Answer 2

Answer:- The whole pie will be left after he eats tomorrow is $\frac{25}{36}$ of the whole pie.

Explanation:-

Pie left from dinner=$\frac{5}{6}$

If victor plans to eat 1/6 of the pie that was left,

The whole pie will be left = $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}\ of\ \frac{5}{6}$

$=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}\times(\frac{5}{6})\\\\=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{5}{36}\\\\=\frac{30-5}{36}=\frac{25}{36}$

Therefore, the whole pie will be left after he eats tomorrow is $\frac{25}{36}$ of the whole pie.
