If I spend one-third of my money on ice-cream, and half of it on a book, what fraction is left?
6/6 - (2/6 + 3/6) = ?
1/6
To find the fraction of money that is left after spending one-third on ice cream and half on a book, we can use some simple math.
Let's say you have $100. If you spend one-third (1/3) of that on ice cream, you would be spending 1/3 * $100 = $33.33.
Now, you have $100 - $33.33 = $66.67 left.
If you then spend half (1/2) of the remaining amount on a book, you would be spending 1/2 * $66.67 = $33.33.
So, after spending on ice cream and a book, you have $66.67 - $33.33 = $33.34 left.
To express this as a fraction, we can write it as $33.34/$100. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3334/10000.
Therefore, the fraction of money that is left after spending one-third on ice cream and half on a book is 3334/10000.
