Given: Madhu gave two-fifth of chocolate to her friend and one fourth to another friend.

To find: What is the quantity of chocolate left with her?

Solution:

Madhu having one chocolate

Madhu gave $\frac{2}{5}$th of the chocolate to one friend

She gave $\frac{1}{4}$th of the chocolate to another friend

The chocolate left with Madhu = $1 - \frac{2}{5}$ - $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{20 -8 -5}{20}$

= $\frac{7}{20}$

The fraction of chocolate left with Madhu = $\frac{7}{20}$
