Hi there! :)

The answer is B) 17/30

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find your answer you need to subtract 1/3 from 9/10:

9/10 - 1/3 = chocolate left

Since theses fractions do not have the same denominators (bottom number), the key here is to rewrite both of the fractions so that they have the same denominator:

The denominator is going to be a common multiple of "10" and "3". Ideally it's going to be the least common multiple of "10" and "3".

Let's start with the larger of the two denominators, which is "10". You have to go through its multiples and and see when we get to one that's divisible perfectly by 3.

So 10 is not divisible perfectly by 3, neither is 20. 30 on the other hand is divisible perfectly by 3. 30 is three times 10.

So you can rewrite both of these fractions as something over 30.

1/3 = ?/30

To get from 3 to 30, we have to multiply by 10. So if you multiply the denominator by 10, if you don't want to change the value of the fraction, you have to multiply the numerator (top number) by 10 also.

1/3 = 10/30

Same thing with the other fraction:

9/10 = ?/30 → 3 × 10 = 30 / SO, you need to multiply the numerator by three also → 9 × 3 = 27

9/10 = 27/30

Now that your fractions both have the same denominator, you can subtract the numerators together and put the answer on 30.

27/30 - 10/30 = ?

27 - 10 = 17 → 17/30

Since the fraction is simplified, you are now done.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
