What fraction did each use up? Check if each has used up an equal fractio of her/his pencils? Ramesh Total pencils = 20 Total used = 10 Fraction used = 10/20 = 10/20 = 𝟏/𝟐 Sheelu Total pencils = 50 Total used = 25 Fraction used = 25/50 = 10/20 = 𝟏/𝟐 Sheelu Total pencils = 50 Total used = 25 Fraction used = 25/50 = 10/20 = 𝟏/𝟐 Jamaal Total pencils = 80 Total used = 40 Fraction used = 40/80 = 40/80 = 4/8 We see that All fractions on simplifying are equal ∴ Each used up an equal fraction of pencils
