can someone please help me solve
Miguel has a box of markers for coloring. He is using 1/4 of the markers and his friend Kevin is using 3/4 of the markers. The fraction of the markers left in the box is
1/4 + 3/4 = 1
No markers are left in the box.
To find the fraction of markers left in the box, we need to subtract the fractions that Miguel and Kevin have used from one whole (which represents all the markers).
Let's first find the fraction that Miguel has used. Miguel used 1/4 of the markers.
To find the fraction of markers left after Miguel uses his share, we subtract 1/4 from 1 whole:
1 - 1/4 = (4/4) - (1/4) = 3/4
So, after Miguel uses his share, there are 3/4 of the markers left in the box.
Now let's find the fraction that Kevin has used. Kevin used 3/4 of the markers.
To find the fraction of markers left after Kevin uses his share, we subtract 3/4 from the remaining 3/4:
3/4 - 3/4 = (3/4) - (3/4) = 0/4
So, after both Miguel and Kevin have used their shares, there are no markers left in the box.
