Let's solve the problem step by step:
- Greg has a total of 8 toy cars.
- He gave 2/8 of them to his friend. To find out how many cars that is, we multiply:
- 2/8 of 8 = 2.
- This means Greg gave away 2 toy cars.
- Now, to find out how many cars Greg has left, we subtract the number he gave away from the total he had:
- 8 - 2 = 6.
- So, Greg now has 6 toy cars left.
- To express this as a fraction of the total he initially had, we can say: he has 6/8 of the cars left.
- Finally, we can simplify this fraction. The greatest common divisor of 6 and 8 is 2:
- 6 ÷ 2 = 3
- 8 ÷ 2 = 4
- So, the simplified fraction of toy cars that Greg has left is 3/4.
In summary, after giving away 2 out of 8 toy cars, Greg has 6 toy cars left, which is also represented as the fraction 3/4.
