if james spends 5/6 of his weekly allowance seeing a movie how many dollars of his allowance do he have left
To find out how many dollars of his allowance James has left after spending 5/6 on a movie, we'll need to take the difference between his total weekly allowance and the amount he spent on the movie.
Let's assume James has a weekly allowance of X dollars. We can represent the amount he spent on the movie as (5/6)X.
To find how much he has left, we subtract the movie expense from his total allowance:
Remaining allowance = Total allowance - Movie expense
Remaining allowance = X - (5/6)X
Now, let's simplify the expression:
Remaining allowance = X - (5/6)X
Remaining allowance = (6/6)X - (5/6)X
Remaining allowance = (1/6)X
So, James has 1/6 of his weekly allowance left, which is equivalent to (1/6)X dollars.
