Answer:

All the children and grandpa mick all had the same fraction of ice cream.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] fraction of the pint of ice cream will be left if grandpa mick serves himself the same amount as the second grandchild.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of ice cream given to youngest grandchild = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Amount of an ice cream left after given to youngest grand child= [tex]1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Amount of ice cream given to middle grandchild = [tex]\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{4}{20}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Amount of ice cream left after given to middle grandchild :

[tex]\frac{4}{5}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Amount of ice cream given to oldest grandchild = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Amount of ice cream taken by grandpa mick= [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Amount of ice cream left after serving all including grandpa himself:

[tex]\frac{3}{5}-\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

All the children and grandpa mick all had the same fraction of ice cream.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] fraction of the pint of ice cream will be left if grandpa mick serves himself the same amount as the second grandchild.
