Cake Fraction
1. The problem asks to find the fraction of the cake Wetsho left for himself after sharing with his three friends.
2. Wetsho gave Toto \(\frac{1}{6}\), Phatsimo \(\frac{2}{5}\), and Kegone \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the cake.
3. To find how much cake Wetsho left, we need to find the sum of the fractions given away and subtract that sum from 1 (whole cake).
4. Find the least common denominator (LCD) of the fractions \(\frac{1}{6}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{3}\). The denominators are 6, 5, and 3.
5. The LCD of 6, 5, and 3 is 30.
6. Convert each fraction to have denominator 30:
\(\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{30}\)
\(\frac{2}{5} = \frac{12}{30}\)
\(\frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{30}\)
7. Add the fractions given away:
$$\frac{5}{30} + \frac{12}{30} + \frac{10}{30} = \frac{5+12+10}{30} = \frac{27}{30}$$
8. Simplify \(\frac{27}{30}\) by dividing numerator and denominator by 3:
$$\frac{27}{30} = \frac{9}{10}$$
9. The fraction Wetsho left for himself is:
$$1 - \frac{9}{10} = \frac{10}{10} - \frac{9}{10} = \frac{1}{10}$$
10. Therefore, Wetsho left \(\frac{1}{10}\) of the cake for himself.
