# Bitoo and Reena

Bitoo ate 3/5 part of an apple and the remaining part was eaten by his sister Reena. How much part of an apple did Renna eat? Who had the larger share? By how much?

Result

R =  0.4
X = (Correct answer is: B)
Y =  0.2

#### Solution:

$B = \dfrac{ 3 }{ 5 } = 0.6 \ \\ R = 1 - B = 1 - 0.6 = \dfrac{ 2 }{ 5 } = 0.4$
$B>R \ \\ \dfrac{ 3 }{ 5 } > \dfrac{ 2 }{ 5 } \ \\ 3>5 \ \\ X = B = 0.6$
$Y = B-R = 0.6-0.4 = \dfrac{ 1 }{ 5 } = 0.2$
