Se vamos repartir uma barra de chocolate para 4 pessoas, de modo que a primeira receba 1/3 da barra, a segunda 1/4 e a terceira 1/5, então quanto a quarta pessoa receberá?

Respuesta :

Answer: The fourth person will receive [tex]\dfrac{13}{60}[/tex] of a bar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total people = 4

Fraction of chocolate received by first person  =  [tex]\dfrac13[/tex]

Fraction of chocolate received by second person  =  [tex]\dfrac14[/tex]

Fraction of chocolate received by third person  =  [tex]\dfrac15[/tex]

Now, Fraction of chocolate received by fourth person  =  [tex]1-(\dfrac13+\dfrac14+\dfrac15)[/tex]

[tex]=1-(\dfrac{20+15+12}{60})\\\\=1-(\dfrac{47}{60})\\\\=\dfrac{60-47}{60}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{60}[/tex]

So, the fourth person will receive [tex]\dfrac{13}{60}[/tex] of a bar.
