Answer 17

Let the whole cake is of x size...

So, Catherine ate 1/6 of x = x/6

Cake remains = x - x/6 = 5x/6..

Friends ate = 2/5 of Remainder = 2/5 of 5x/6 = x/3..

So, Cake left = x - x/6 - x/3

= (6x - x - 2x)/6

= 3x/6 = x/2..

So, 1/2 of Cake is left behind....

Answer 18

cat's friends get (2/5)of the remaining
=>(2/5)(1 - 1/6)
=>1/3 of the cake.

so the fraction of the cake that has vanished=1/3 + 1/6
=1/2
