For instance, if I have 32 sweets and eat 1/4 of them, how many sweets do I eat? And how many do I eat if I eat 3/8 of the initial 32 sweets? What if I have to run 21 km to get a medal but I get tired after completing 4/7 of the distance and stop. How many km did I still have to run to receive the medal?
