Who has brainly
1/4 = 2/8
2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8 ... so, what's left? ... how many eighths?
To find the fraction of money the girl has left, we need to subtract the fractions she spent from 1 (since 1 represents the whole amount of money she started with).
First, let's calculate the fraction she spent on Monday: 1/4.
Next, let's calculate the fraction she spent on Wednesday: 3/8.
To find the fraction of money she has left, subtract the sum of the spent fractions from 1:
1 - (1/4 + 3/8).
To simplify the calculation, we need to find a common denominator for 4 and 8, which is 8.
Now, let's express 1/4 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 8: (1/4) * (2/2) = 2/8.
The fraction she spent on Monday is 2/8.
Next, we have the fraction spent on Wednesday: 3/8.
Adding the fractions together: 2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8.
Therefore, the girl has 5/8 of her money left.
To summarize, the girl has 5/8 of her money left after spending 1/4 on Monday and 3/8 on Wednesday.
