Question 1059181: Rizwan gave 2/5 of the fruit triffle to his friend and ate 1/5 of the remaining. a) how much of the fruit trifle was left over? b) what fraction of the remaining fruit trifle did he take himself?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rizwan gives 2/5 of a truffle to his friend; leaving himself with 3/5. He eats 1/5th of this, digesting 1/5th of his 3/5ths, or 3/25ths of the original truffle. He is left with 4/5ths of 3/5ths, or 12/25ths of the original whole truffle. ☺☺☺☺
