               Meena’s father made one chikki.











               Meena ate 1/2 of it and her younger brother ate 1/4 of it. How much of the total
               chikki did Meena and her brother eat together?

               We can arrive at the answer by visualising it.


                Step -1  :  Let us take a piece of chikki and divide it into two halves.

                                 Meena ate 1/2 of it as shown in the picture.















               Step -2 :  Let us now divide the remaining half into two further halves as shown.
               Each of these pieces is 1/4 of the whole chikki
