Answer»

Answer:

ate=\FRAC{7}{16}

My friend ate =\frac{4}{16}

we both eat

\frac{7}{16}+\frac{4}{16}=\frac{7+4}{16}=\frac{11}{16}

the WATERMELON more I eat than my friend is

\frac{7}{16}-\frac{4}{16}=\frac{7-4}{16}=\frac{3}{16}

The portion of the watermelon remained

1-\frac{11}{16}=\frac{16-11}{16}=\frac{5}{16}
