Question 522004MathematicsJAMB
Three teachers shared a packet of chalk. The first teacher got 52 of the chalk and the second teacher received 152 of the remainder. What fraction did the third teacher receive?
A
2511
B
2512
C
2513
D
158
Step-by-Step Explanation
To determine the fraction of chalk received by the third teacher, first calculate the amount received by the first teacher, which is 52. The remainder after the first teacher is 53, and the second teacher receives 152 of this remainder, equating to 152×53=252. Subtracting the amounts received by the first and second teachers from the total gives the third teacher 2513 of the chalk.
