Q1.
How much dhokla does Sumedha get now?
Answer The dhokla is cut into 5 equal parts. The two coloured parts are Sumedha’s own share and Idha’s share.
Sumedha now gets 2/5 (two-fifths) of the dhokla.
5 people share the dhokla → each share is 1/5
Sumedha’s own share = 1/5
Idha gives her share = 1/5
1/5 + 1/5 = 2/5
Sumedha’s own share = 1/5
Idha gives her share = 1/5
1/5 + 1/5 = 2/5
Why it happens: Two pieces of the same size joined together make two of those pieces, so we simply count the pieces she now has: 2 pieces out of 5.
