1/3=$12=
$18-$36=
$18 or 1/2
First find out how much of her allowance she earned washing dishes and cleaning her room:
(1/3)+(1/6) (Find LCD)
=(2/6)+(1/6)
=3/6
=1/2
So if 1/2 of her allowance is earned washing dishes and cleaning her room, then the other 1/2 of her allowance is earned doing other things. So:
(1/2)(36)=$13.00
Sorry, hit the wrong key:
(1/2)(36)=$18.00
To find out how much of Faith's $36 allowance was not earned from washing the dishes or cleaning her room, we need to calculate the total amount she earned from those two tasks and subtract it from her total allowance.
First, let's find out how much Faith earned from washing the dishes. We are given that she earned 1/3 of her allowance from washing the dishes. To calculate this, we'll multiply 1/3 by $36:
(1/3) * $36 = $12
So, Faith earned $12 by washing the dishes.
Next, let's find out how much Faith earned from cleaning her room. We are given that she earned 1/6 of her allowance from cleaning her room. To calculate this, we'll multiply 1/6 by $36:
(1/6) * $36 = $6
So, Faith earned $6 by cleaning her room.
Now, to find out how much of her $36 allowance was not earned from washing the dishes or cleaning her room, we need to subtract the amounts she earned from her total allowance:
Total allowance - (Amount earned from washing dishes + Amount earned from cleaning room)
$36 - ($12 + $6) = $36 - $18 = $18
Therefore, $18 of Faith's $36 allowance was not earned from washing the dishes or cleaning her room.
