The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine how much of the apple Somu ate after Ritu had her share. ### Step 1: Understand the total amount of the apple The whole apple can be represented as 1 (or 1 whole). ### Step 2: Determine how much Ritu ate Ritu ate \( \frac{3}{5} \) of the apple. ### Step 3: Calculate the remaining part of the apple To find out how much of the apple is left after Ritu ate her share, we subtract the part Ritu ate from the whole apple: \[ \text{Remaining apple} = 1 - \frac{3}{5} \] ### Step 4: Convert 1 to a fraction with a common denominator To perform the subtraction, we need to express 1 as a fraction with the same denominator as \( \frac{3}{5} \): \[ 1 = \frac{5}{5} \] ### Step 5: Perform the subtraction Now we can subtract: \[ \text{Remaining apple} = \frac{5}{5} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5 - 3}{5} = \frac{2}{5} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Somu ate \( \frac{2}{5} \) of the apple. ### Step 7: Compare the amounts eaten by Ritu and Somu To determine who ate more, we compare \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{2}{5} \): - Since \( 3 > 2 \), it follows that \( \frac{3}{5} > \frac{2}{5} \). - Therefore, Ritu ate the larger share. ### Step 8: Calculate the difference To find out how much more Ritu ate than Somu, we subtract the amount Somu ate from the amount Ritu ate: \[ \text{Difference} = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3 - 2}{5} = \frac{1}{5} \] ### Final Answer Somu ate \( \frac{2}{5} \) of the apple, and Ritu ate the larger share by \( \frac{1}{5} \). ---
