claire picked some apples. She used 2/5 of the apples to make jam. She gave 1/3 of the remainder to her neighbor. What fraction of apples did she give to her neighbor.
Hi there, For this problem the correct answer is:
Each neighbor gets 1/5 of an apple! Here’s how
1 - 2/5 = 5/5
5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5
1/3 x 3/5 = 3/16
Let’s simplify 3 /16 to 1/5
I am pretty sure this is the answer.
