A square cake is cut into 16 equal parts.
Ben eats 7/16 of the cake
Belle eats 1/4 of the cake
What fraction of the cake is left?

Could someone please break it down for me to understand.



Answer :

so 4 times 4 is 16 so the 1/4 is now 4/16 plus the 7/16 equals 11/16 so the left number is 5/16
so 4 times 4 is 16 so the 1/4 is now 4/16 plus the 7/16 equals 11/16 so the left number is 5/16 hope this helps
