Answer:
B gets 5/13 of the candy bar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a candy bar is being shared between two people, A and B, and A gets 3/5 times as much as B, to determine what fraction of the bar does B get the following calculation must be performed:
3/5 = 0.6
1.6 + 1 = 100
1 = X
2.6 = 100
1 = X
100 / 2.6 = X
38.46 = X
38.46% = 0.3846 = 5/13
Therefore, B gets 5/13 of the candy bar.
